Traditional Chinese phonology divides the syllable into an Initial and Final. The9 q4 Y4 p! m# |3 O$ }
Initial is the way a syllable begins, usually with a consonant. The Final is the

and uang, respectively. The longest form of a Final consists of three parts: a medial9 \& m* {8 S* I9 J6 @0 _
(or: semivowel), a main vowel (or: head vowel), and an ending (or, in the case of! j* @+ E1 C/ B ~/ V& I* ^
