Traditional Chinese phonology divides the syllable into an Initial and Final. The
; E+ F1 T1 Q8 t& J% vInitial is the way a syllable begins, usually with a consonant. The Final is the: [; G! W1 \: y0 b. R
syllable minus the Initial. For example, in ta, chi, jin, chuang, the Finals are a, i, in,
& i+ L7 ~$ R- mand uang, respectively. The longest form of a Final consists of three parts: a medial

A Final in Mandarin comprises one of four medials: º (empty), /i/, /u/, or /iu/ (=4 S& r- a7 o. Y5 ?& z
