Traditional Chinese phonology divides the syllable into an Initial and Final. The
, ]7 ?5 }" r7 GInitial is the way a syllable begins, usually with a consonant. The Final is the" n5 u: c! A$ S, K+ {2 S
syllable minus the Initial. For example, in ta, chi, jin, chuang, the Finals are a, i, in,
( [1 O# a3 @& {$ p$ I+ A; {and uang, respectively. The longest form of a Final consists of three parts: a medial

retroflex suffixes, sometimes two endings, as in the er-sound ming’er ‘tomorrow’).( M, J( Y5 ^' q0 u O3 f, l- t/ _
A Final in Mandarin comprises one of four medials: º (empty), /i/, /u/, or /iu/ (=: P2 j/ z) n8 u! T9 a/ W L
[y], one of three vowels: /a/, /e/, or /o/, and one of six endings: º, -i, -u, -n, -N, and [”]- x/ L1 \8 a- ?* d/ {- w
(phonetically -r).13 Actually, there are only 40 different Finals (if Finals involving

(Initial) nor in the coda (Final). Onset clusters can maximally have a length of two
