Traditional Chinese phonology divides the syllable into an Initial and Final. The8 U `% V0 y: b; f3 m a; v
Initial is the way a syllable begins, usually with a consonant. The Final is the' c5 x5 l4 J' ?7 E1 }
syllable minus the Initial. For example, in ta, chi, jin, chuang, the Finals are a, i, in,0 h& G1 l3 ]/ k: E7 n j" z
and uang, respectively. The longest form of a Final consists of three parts: a medial

retroflex suffixes, sometimes two endings, as in the er-sound ming’er ‘tomorrow’).
