Traditional Chinese phonology divides the syllable into an Initial and Final. The8 u/ }1 |, I+ V2 ~8 N
Initial is the way a syllable begins, usually with a consonant. The Final is the
& V" J3 }5 C0 U( l2 n4 i# msyllable minus the Initial. For example, in ta, chi, jin, chuang, the Finals are a, i, in,
; R$ P( _0 v |# ]8 _1 fand uang, respectively. The longest form of a Final consists of three parts: a medial
