Traditional Chinese phonology divides the syllable into an Initial and Final. The+ O" `# `. K1 N8 N6 }; m
Initial is the way a syllable begins, usually with a consonant. The Final is the: h6 V8 h1 t( z6 `% e3 o! i
syllable minus the Initial. For example, in ta, chi, jin, chuang, the Finals are a, i, in,
B1 D' ^6 p* E3 z$ mand uang, respectively. The longest form of a Final consists of three parts: a medial
. a! }, k3 v7 | j. p, O0 ], y h2 o(or: semivowel), a main vowel (or: head vowel), and an ending (or, in the case of2 A. d; L! }+ J9 _
retroflex suffixes, sometimes two endings, as in the er-sound ming’er ‘tomorrow’).5 L. J/ k. Z/ ^4 A, ~
A Final in Mandarin comprises one of four medials: º (empty), /i/, /u/, or /iu/ (=
6 t5 k9 w! o, S5 n) R[y], one of three vowels: /a/, /e/, or /o/, and one of six endings: º, -i, -u, -n, -N, and [”]

possible syllables in Mandarin, no obstruent clusters are possible in the onset
