Traditional Chinese phonology divides the syllable into an Initial and Final. The
8 V9 v+ L/ e8 ^* t" JInitial is the way a syllable begins, usually with a consonant. The Final is the
7 I9 V8 y! E9 L. P3 o" ?syllable minus the Initial. For example, in ta, chi, jin, chuang, the Finals are a, i, in,, \# u# \6 X; K3 k7 P" ^3 e
and uang, respectively. The longest form of a Final consists of three parts: a medial5 r; v# p3 N1 x& f
(or: semivowel), a main vowel (or: head vowel), and an ending (or, in the case of9 j1 g Y# ^ | C. J y/ _2 N! J

A Final in Mandarin comprises one of four medials: º (empty), /i/, /u/, or /iu/ (=* y! n, t$ X x3 t1 a( z
