Traditional Chinese phonology divides the syllable into an Initial and Final. The
/ b. R! `) A7 p0 [4 YInitial is the way a syllable begins, usually with a consonant. The Final is the
+ Z) h' C. P, T: I/ [syllable minus the Initial. For example, in ta, chi, jin, chuang, the Finals are a, i, in,
6 X; E7 [+ M: u/ u( Y; Aand uang, respectively. The longest form of a Final consists of three parts: a medial
, u( ?1 A- s2 ? [/ w! F(or: semivowel), a main vowel (or: head vowel), and an ending (or, in the case of
