Traditional Chinese phonology divides the syllable into an Initial and Final. The
7 D- \3 ?9 v* P0 @6 ]Initial is the way a syllable begins, usually with a consonant. The Final is the
0 P# s; q: @# \* o: f! Nsyllable minus the Initial. For example, in ta, chi, jin, chuang, the Finals are a, i, in,
3 e; ^2 ^$ K$ t1 B) i' Wand uang, respectively. The longest form of a Final consists of three parts: a medial
