Traditional Chinese phonology divides the syllable into an Initial and Final. The
( k+ Q) E* P* TInitial is the way a syllable begins, usually with a consonant. The Final is the
4 K; L' Q2 j" A' Ssyllable minus the Initial. For example, in ta, chi, jin, chuang, the Finals are a, i, in,* Y% A2 \$ S1 e
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’).2 P4 \: Y- v8 {! c- d3 ^7 X0 u
