Traditional Chinese phonology divides the syllable into an Initial and Final. The
4 ^5 N$ |( ^2 w- KInitial is the way a syllable begins, usually with a consonant. The Final is the/ a: @& X- U; x6 a/ \
syllable minus the Initial. For example, in ta, chi, jin, chuang, the Finals are a, i, in,8 m6 g- o. A, x q; X" U
and uang, respectively. The longest form of a Final consists of three parts: a medial; k; L$ T7 l1 t y/ R0 j6 U0 I9 i% c
(or: semivowel), a main vowel (or: head vowel), and an ending (or, in the case of
