Traditional Chinese phonology divides the syllable into an Initial and Final. The9 h8 @9 K Z+ r2 @6 G7 H9 I
Initial is the way a syllable begins, usually with a consonant. The Final is the
3 n9 }. @/ ~' w" G1 jsyllable minus the Initial. For example, in ta, chi, jin, chuang, the Finals are a, i, in,
2 ^- C1 R* Q5 n9 eand uang, respectively. The longest form of a Final consists of three parts: a medial: u( n' O6 X6 `/ r+ \# h
(or: semivowel), a main vowel (or: head vowel), and an ending (or, in the case of
