Traditional Chinese phonology divides the syllable into an Initial and Final. The
7 ?, I, d7 f3 m' J. |" kInitial is the way a syllable begins, usually with a consonant. The Final is the
3 a2 @( ^& u: V7 r- }( U2 wsyllable minus the Initial. For example, in ta, chi, jin, chuang, the Finals are a, i, in,+ y" l6 _! A8 z5 e( v$ {2 E
and uang, respectively. The longest form of a Final consists of three parts: a medial$ X# x$ ?5 t8 m, B7 J
(or: semivowel), a main vowel (or: head vowel), and an ending (or, in the case of/ d1 V4 \0 }; _' F- d
retroflex suffixes, sometimes two endings, as in the er-sound ming’er ‘tomorrow’).
