Traditional Chinese phonology divides the syllable into an Initial and Final. The
, \3 r2 D, z) |# AInitial is the way a syllable begins, usually with a consonant. The Final is the- u( G& a: H. i) V4 N+ q7 C
syllable minus the Initial. For example, in ta, chi, jin, chuang, the Finals are a, i, in,. K0 z5 ^+ {' B
and uang, respectively. The longest form of a Final consists of three parts: a medial" j/ o8 \5 Z% d3 K! M7 Y. W
(or: semivowel), a main vowel (or: head vowel), and an ending (or, in the case of
