Traditional Chinese phonology divides the syllable into an Initial and Final. The
" U3 q0 B: D+ q3 t5 OInitial is the way a syllable begins, usually with a consonant. The Final is the/ q ]9 r/ Z+ t( T; M& ?
syllable minus the Initial. For example, in ta, chi, jin, chuang, the Finals are a, i, in,$ k7 J/ v5 F8 i* a) R: B+ X' V z, o
and uang, respectively. The longest form of a Final consists of three parts: a medial6 f! }7 _: V$ h R) x! O
(or: semivowel), a main vowel (or: head vowel), and an ending (or, in the case of% _% [8 O8 ]" w/ c6 o/ M
retroflex suffixes, sometimes two endings, as in the er-sound ming’er ‘tomorrow’)., ^$ g, \. b, H
A Final in Mandarin comprises one of four medials: º (empty), /i/, /u/, or /iu/ (=
