Traditional Chinese phonology divides the syllable into an Initial and Final. The3 T" @" o+ e+ f4 ~
Initial is the way a syllable begins, usually with a consonant. The Final is the
+ Z) g$ m4 ^5 b& A' Bsyllable minus the Initial. For example, in ta, chi, jin, chuang, the Finals are a, i, in,
# T! `% s8 ~9 D- z' g7 t; b" y2 l! Tand uang, respectively. The longest form of a Final consists of three parts: a medial

retroflex suffixes, sometimes two endings, as in the er-sound ming’er ‘tomorrow’).
