Traditional Chinese phonology divides the syllable into an Initial and Final. The
. o2 _, j. |5 y4 Q6 u. b cInitial 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 medial

A Final in Mandarin comprises one of four medials: º (empty), /i/, /u/, or /iu/ (=7 Z, A( B, m. a1 N% I; p+ j

(phonetically -r).13 Actually, there are only 40 different Finals (if Finals involving
