Traditional Chinese phonology divides the syllable into an Initial and Final. The
: O% h9 G2 A3 n- c4 ^Initial is the way a syllable begins, usually with a consonant. The Final is the

/ J& h/ o' i7 p4 t. g4 oand uang, respectively. The longest form of a Final consists of three parts: a medial

A Final in Mandarin comprises one of four medials: º (empty), /i/, /u/, or /iu/ (=
