Traditional Chinese phonology divides the syllable into an Initial and Final. The8 n2 a8 [3 R$ B3 l
Initial is the way a syllable begins, usually with a consonant. The Final is the
5 {6 i6 q" c2 j7 Ssyllable minus the Initial. For example, in ta, chi, jin, chuang, the Finals are a, i, in,
G* y: _' C& {( l& Fand uang, respectively. The longest form of a Final consists of three parts: a medial# V; U# k9 N6 k' U# N4 r; W/ K+ H
(or: semivowel), a main vowel (or: head vowel), and an ending (or, in the case of; L, Y% y; N- K% e4 p! x
retroflex suffixes, sometimes two endings, as in the er-sound ming’er ‘tomorrow’).
