Traditional Chinese phonology divides the syllable into an Initial and Final. The
0 T! M6 `7 g8 T$ _: jInitial is the way a syllable begins, usually with a consonant. The Final is the
' l% x1 L/ r5 N0 m, csyllable minus the Initial. For example, in ta, chi, jin, chuang, the Finals are a, i, in,8 U9 C, E+ z7 a8 ~# s- _
and uang, respectively. The longest form of a Final consists of three parts: a medial: Z4 X1 f# {1 U6 B. k- u0 V
(or: semivowel), a main vowel (or: head vowel), and an ending (or, in the case of7 V G+ q# j; k0 a& J l, o+ h
retroflex suffixes, sometimes two endings, as in the er-sound ming’er ‘tomorrow’).4 }( f- s2 y1 S. Y
A Final in Mandarin comprises one of four medials: º (empty), /i/, /u/, or /iu/ (=
8 j$ s7 X o. L4 S5 g+ Z$ ^* C[y], one of three vowels: /a/, /e/, or /o/, and one of six endings: º, -i, -u, -n, -N, and [”]- [* y: k4 @ ^0 y' k! P
(phonetically -r).13 Actually, there are only 40 different Finals (if Finals involving
