Traditional Chinese phonology divides the syllable into an Initial and Final. The
+ o! o: z7 Y- x* RInitial is the way a syllable begins, usually with a consonant. The Final is the
X/ f; {- @# ^2 R. A, A2 jsyllable minus the Initial. For example, in ta, chi, jin, chuang, the Finals are a, i, in,8 L. {8 R, `; t4 z, s; T K( b
and uang, respectively. The longest form of a Final consists of three parts: a medial8 W5 R' X% Y6 Q8 _3 X
(or: semivowel), a main vowel (or: head vowel), and an ending (or, in the case of
; N# T+ \& ]0 C: c% z3 I2 Uretroflex suffixes, sometimes two endings, as in the er-sound ming’er ‘tomorrow’).* d/ _+ Y' i: u2 ^) t' U
A Final in Mandarin comprises one of four medials: º (empty), /i/, /u/, or /iu/ (=. n6 K a/ j% N
