Traditional Chinese phonology divides the syllable into an Initial and Final. The2 l' w" L5 {- V! ^' f! }0 U
Initial is the way a syllable begins, usually with a consonant. The Final is the2 a7 M+ t; _# u. u) q6 @2 V; e; t
syllable minus the Initial. For example, in ta, chi, jin, chuang, the Finals are a, i, in,
; U/ D4 y7 C2 }, _- `! qand uang, respectively. The longest form of a Final consists of three parts: a medial
