Traditional Chinese phonology divides the syllable into an Initial and Final. The

syllable minus the Initial. For example, in ta, chi, jin, chuang, the Finals are a, i, in,2 q% a' B* N" j# p, J$ U$ r$ Z9 T, Q, A
and uang, respectively. The longest form of a Final consists of three parts: a medial# d7 d# o3 D2 A5 v! X: s" p
(or: semivowel), a main vowel (or: head vowel), and an ending (or, in the case of8 m6 z. O) z: Y; m3 }
retroflex suffixes, sometimes two endings, as in the er-sound ming’er ‘tomorrow’)., p' `5 F! q) ?) K
A Final in Mandarin comprises one of four medials: º (empty), /i/, /u/, or /iu/ (=

(phonetically -r).13 Actually, there are only 40 different Finals (if Finals involving1 i& k4 h! F! n, t' }! ^
