Traditional Chinese phonology divides the syllable into an Initial and Final. The" R. k G' p; O' v
Initial is the way a syllable begins, usually with a consonant. The Final is the A) u# t2 }3 }, }
syllable minus the Initial. For example, in ta, chi, jin, chuang, the Finals are a, i, in,
. }% k, Z; z: }and uang, respectively. The longest form of a Final consists of three parts: a medial
