Traditional Chinese phonology divides the syllable into an Initial and Final. The" W9 t' o2 ^5 \. X, m y- B T
Initial is the way a syllable begins, usually with a consonant. The Final is the
# \1 Z; a. @4 L8 M5 B: ~syllable minus the Initial. For example, in ta, chi, jin, chuang, the Finals are a, i, in,
, w* l3 [2 h7 i' ?" d4 yand uang, respectively. The longest form of a Final consists of three parts: a medial$ P5 Y: ^) r$ ]' ~
(or: semivowel), a main vowel (or: head vowel), and an ending (or, in the case of$ c: y w* e/ y& ? I7 N2 y
retroflex suffixes, sometimes two endings, as in the er-sound ming’er ‘tomorrow’).
