Traditional Chinese phonology divides the syllable into an Initial and Final. The
" W+ H7 a; l8 o. cInitial is the way a syllable begins, usually with a consonant. The Final is the
% j1 X3 G5 x6 K% Esyllable minus the Initial. For example, in ta, chi, jin, chuang, the Finals are a, i, in, t3 l, V, F# p4 C j
and uang, respectively. The longest form of a Final consists of three parts: a medial( q' ]' A' y% |; K6 v
(or: semivowel), a main vowel (or: head vowel), and an ending (or, in the case of4 \% y0 t. ^& @5 O6 C4 v/ C8 A) u
retroflex suffixes, sometimes two endings, as in the er-sound ming’er ‘tomorrow’).9 x# ^% ~! b+ |1 C2 n3 a
A Final in Mandarin comprises one of four medials: º (empty), /i/, /u/, or /iu/ (=6 e7 Z; d: Y+ m! w, _* N
