Traditional Chinese phonology divides the syllable into an Initial and Final. The

and uang, respectively. The longest form of a Final consists of three parts: a medial% G: O: D' H; [
(or: semivowel), a main vowel (or: head vowel), and an ending (or, in the case of8 w" {3 z% k- D( ^4 P% Y

A Final in Mandarin comprises one of four medials: º (empty), /i/, /u/, or /iu/ (=" V8 i8 D# T1 m
