Traditional Chinese phonology divides the syllable into an Initial and Final. The
$ _( H/ H8 T# x& S4 }Initial is the way a syllable begins, usually with a consonant. The Final is the9 {9 U; |" @% w* a f% x, I ~1 {
syllable minus the Initial. For example, in ta, chi, jin, chuang, the Finals are a, i, in,- ^0 q. P6 _* y7 }$ ^" H4 H v
and uang, respectively. The longest form of a Final consists of three parts: a medial
