Traditional Chinese phonology divides the syllable into an Initial and Final. The
7 U4 c7 P H9 M4 t$ Z1 b: EInitial is the way a syllable begins, usually with a consonant. The Final is the7 `7 Z/ w. q& K* v% K% @
syllable minus the Initial. For example, in ta, chi, jin, chuang, the Finals are a, i, in,# M! o6 i" K9 }$ O1 d( h& n
and uang, respectively. The longest form of a Final consists of three parts: a medial
