Traditional Chinese phonology divides the syllable into an Initial and Final. The3 R4 I6 J0 b4 M( k: T* U
Initial is the way a syllable begins, usually with a consonant. The Final is the3 ^, Z4 k; a2 q$ B
syllable minus the Initial. For example, in ta, chi, jin, chuang, the Finals are a, i, in,$ W0 }) j% a& e \+ r
and uang, respectively. The longest form of a Final consists of three parts: a medial
. ~; t* N0 I7 Q$ T* G(or: semivowel), a main vowel (or: head vowel), and an ending (or, in the case of5 u9 A* N3 n9 N2 o
retroflex suffixes, sometimes two endings, as in the er-sound ming’er ‘tomorrow’).% K: h. }/ G+ V: ^/ u/ }
A Final in Mandarin comprises one of four medials: º (empty), /i/, /u/, or /iu/ (=
