Traditional Chinese phonology divides the syllable into an Initial and Final. The
+ {( \% { W( f1 Y4 V1 P9 Q; VInitial is the way a syllable begins, usually with a consonant. The Final is the; ?3 ^4 ~- {7 W$ C7 Y. C+ J
syllable minus the Initial. For example, in ta, chi, jin, chuang, the Finals are a, i, in,
: C" X, Q! o3 xand uang, respectively. The longest form of a Final consists of three parts: a medial
