Traditional Chinese phonology divides the syllable into an Initial and Final. The
* [2 z1 {) G! U* h' D- r$ KInitial is the way a syllable begins, usually with a consonant. The Final is the
# A- Q4 ?+ Q* \syllable minus the Initial. For example, in ta, chi, jin, chuang, the Finals are a, i, in,! S6 t$ P* m; h7 @
and uang, respectively. The longest form of a Final consists of three parts: a medial* K6 {( e% C( v! {' w0 A M+ Q( Q

retroflex suffixes, sometimes two endings, as in the er-sound ming’er ‘tomorrow’).
