Traditional Chinese phonology divides the syllable into an Initial and Final. The p+ F# W8 r5 @
Initial is the way a syllable begins, usually with a consonant. The Final is the
# x" {: s5 ]0 R4 c h; V7 hsyllable minus the Initial. For example, in ta, chi, jin, chuang, the Finals are a, i, in,$ ?. {$ U2 q8 L- R+ b
and 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/ (=
