Traditional Chinese phonology divides the syllable into an Initial and Final. The
0 t/ G4 j! k* [$ t7 w XInitial is the way a syllable begins, usually with a consonant. The Final is the
! ^. t) o4 Q1 O& s$ Rsyllable minus the Initial. For example, in ta, chi, jin, chuang, the Finals are a, i, in,
% u& }- i" B# m2 Cand uang, respectively. The longest form of a Final consists of three parts: a medial

retroflex suffixes, sometimes two endings, as in the er-sound ming’er ‘tomorrow’).
