Traditional Chinese phonology divides the syllable into an Initial and Final. The
$ Y2 g1 I, u# i8 ]& G# ?Initial is the way a syllable begins, usually with a consonant. The Final is the2 u& D( L; U1 K* `$ s7 X
syllable minus the Initial. For example, in ta, chi, jin, chuang, the Finals are a, i, in,4 Y7 j/ T& g5 ]1 n7 u+ E9 f
and uang, respectively. The longest form of a Final consists of three parts: a medial
/ G' o7 i1 k7 N8 T2 H2 ](or: semivowel), a main vowel (or: head vowel), and an ending (or, in the case of T' p- b/ J3 t0 i' r7 l. _
retroflex suffixes, sometimes two endings, as in the er-sound ming’er ‘tomorrow’).
