Traditional Chinese phonology divides the syllable into an Initial and Final. The, T, l# |4 T Q3 n& C8 l
Initial is the way a syllable begins, usually with a consonant. The Final is the; d2 J/ w6 v7 Q" d1 Q9 I n
syllable minus the Initial. For example, in ta, chi, jin, chuang, the Finals are a, i, in, s: G1 a. o: L, L/ g
and uang, respectively. The longest form of a Final consists of three parts: a medial* X- W% v/ V+ Z, C/ a1 p
(or: semivowel), a main vowel (or: head vowel), and an ending (or, in the case of
f, g% _) ~- w5 O+ o8 T+ rretroflex suffixes, sometimes two endings, as in the er-sound ming’er ‘tomorrow’).* M7 |& p% K( g' f* y+ w5 z
A Final in Mandarin comprises one of four medials: º (empty), /i/, /u/, or /iu/ (=
