Traditional Chinese phonology divides the syllable into an Initial and Final. The
) h# Z7 ~6 v; g5 R( ]Initial is the way a syllable begins, usually with a consonant. The Final is the, T" q( Y9 W- ~
syllable minus the Initial. For example, in ta, chi, jin, chuang, the Finals are a, i, in,

retroflex suffixes, sometimes two endings, as in the er-sound ming’er ‘tomorrow’).7 l* B: J# L7 ]; }) d
A Final in Mandarin comprises one of four medials: º (empty), /i/, /u/, or /iu/ (=
