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,% n0 t' _5 \% L( q. y, `. m
and uang, respectively. The longest form of a Final consists of three parts: a medial! E8 U# z, M+ N
(or: semivowel), a main vowel (or: head vowel), and an ending (or, in the case of

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