Traditional Chinese phonology divides the syllable into an Initial and Final. The
0 W/ T6 E- ?2 C+ B7 @Initial is the way a syllable begins, usually with a consonant. The Final is the
4 L5 @ N; v" ]+ u lsyllable minus the Initial. For example, in ta, chi, jin, chuang, the Finals are a, i, in,
0 ?" `- m, _3 T% Zand uang, respectively. The longest form of a Final consists of three parts: a medial7 `6 f" h1 f: Q/ ~8 y+ \1 t
(or: semivowel), a main vowel (or: head vowel), and an ending (or, in the case of
