Traditional Chinese phonology divides the syllable into an Initial and Final. The# A) F: l b+ O% ]6 b
Initial is the way a syllable begins, usually with a consonant. The Final is the5 ?9 w! S/ F+ N* A- |; r6 j
syllable minus the Initial. For example, in ta, chi, jin, chuang, the Finals are a, i, in,. z8 ]- p7 Q {. L Y
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’).
