Traditional Chinese phonology divides the syllable into an Initial and Final. The
* |! y W6 h0 ^! D# Q' cInitial is the way a syllable begins, usually with a consonant. The Final is the
- X* w. y& S; Jsyllable minus the Initial. For example, in ta, chi, jin, chuang, the Finals are a, i, in,

retroflex suffixes, sometimes two endings, as in the er-sound ming’er ‘tomorrow’).) m( @5 C' f; w" y! ~2 G
A Final in Mandarin comprises one of four medials: º (empty), /i/, /u/, or /iu/ (=
