Traditional Chinese phonology divides the syllable into an Initial and Final. The! s# a5 {, y4 w0 C
Initial is the way a syllable begins, usually with a consonant. The Final is the9 |5 \6 @& T+ B2 i: d* P3 m
syllable minus the Initial. For example, in ta, chi, jin, chuang, the Finals are a, i, in,7 u" x! K* Y% \# C. e
and uang, respectively. The longest form of a Final consists of three parts: a medial

(Initial) nor in the coda (Final). Onset clusters can maximally have a length of two
