Traditional Chinese phonology divides the syllable into an Initial and Final. The
0 r, M( u0 {2 dInitial is the way a syllable begins, usually with a consonant. The Final is the9 @1 X$ d' j0 r; S
syllable minus the Initial. For example, in ta, chi, jin, chuang, the Finals are a, i, in,- }' Q" b$ c( ^+ v, c% j0 {
and uang, respectively. The longest form of a Final consists of three parts: a medial; N O- N+ m& p) o, k# S
(or: semivowel), a main vowel (or: head vowel), and an ending (or, in the case of
