Traditional Chinese phonology divides the syllable into an Initial and Final. The; P/ n, k1 h6 F) s
Initial is the way a syllable begins, usually with a consonant. The Final is the

and uang, respectively. The longest form of a Final consists of three parts: a medial0 R, `. n" a1 G% y) C
(or: semivowel), a main vowel (or: head vowel), and an ending (or, in the case of& e p" ^6 h0 ?% {& M
