Traditional Chinese phonology divides the syllable into an Initial and Final. The

syllable minus the Initial. For example, in ta, chi, jin, chuang, the Finals are a, i, in, t! a8 t; ~1 o2 c9 N/ \6 D
and uang, respectively. The longest form of a Final consists of three parts: a medial& l h1 b2 ]9 l( A8 e @- u8 I

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