Traditional Chinese phonology divides the syllable into an Initial and Final. The( w5 f; g1 W+ E3 B- c
Initial is the way a syllable begins, usually with a consonant. The Final is the* `! Q) l# ~1 H/ D/ F1 G
syllable minus the Initial. For example, in ta, chi, jin, chuang, the Finals are a, i, in,7 Z( ~: A4 F$ R4 b7 \3 w5 h6 q
and uang, respectively. The longest form of a Final consists of three parts: a medial

A Final in Mandarin comprises one of four medials: º (empty), /i/, /u/, or /iu/ (=) W6 Z$ q M& J7 b2 S
