Traditional Chinese phonology divides the syllable into an Initial and Final. The3 k4 k7 U& u7 v, i1 s
Initial is the way a syllable begins, usually with a consonant. The Final is the) Q+ Z( G- V4 X# M1 |
syllable minus the Initial. For example, in ta, chi, jin, chuang, the Finals are a, i, in,5 O: j* W/ B: S1 _. }
and uang, respectively. The longest form of a Final consists of three parts: a medial: D c: |9 D$ }) J! D! Q6 D) z
(or: semivowel), a main vowel (or: head vowel), and an ending (or, in the case of

A Final in Mandarin comprises one of four medials: º (empty), /i/, /u/, or /iu/ (=
