Traditional Chinese phonology divides the syllable into an Initial and Final. The
! r/ c( o, ^ J2 f; d n) d" }Initial is the way a syllable begins, usually with a consonant. The Final is the
! R2 F% C w5 [% J9 _syllable minus the Initial. For example, in ta, chi, jin, chuang, the Finals are a, i, in,
" e" \ a3 I0 Iand 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’).
