Traditional Chinese phonology divides the syllable into an Initial and Final. The
5 z4 L* J6 _) aInitial is the way a syllable begins, usually with a consonant. The Final is the: u7 v5 Q9 ~5 Q; F( M9 a6 J
syllable minus the Initial. For example, in ta, chi, jin, chuang, the Finals are a, i, in,1 B6 h/ N, M9 U) `' e
and uang, respectively. The longest form of a Final consists of three parts: a medial. Q+ ]- _3 X- C3 H- V
(or: semivowel), a main vowel (or: head vowel), and an ending (or, in the case of
_: E9 ?: G' i; j. hretroflex suffixes, sometimes two endings, as in the er-sound ming’er ‘tomorrow’).
! ~( [9 r* f B) e$ CA Final in Mandarin comprises one of four medials: º (empty), /i/, /u/, or /iu/ (=
