Traditional Chinese phonology divides the syllable into an Initial and Final. The0 I5 W, a0 O/ ]
Initial is the way a syllable begins, usually with a consonant. The Final is the
+ r4 D& ]2 V; u0 asyllable minus the Initial. For example, in ta, chi, jin, chuang, the Finals are a, i, in,. `' f4 h: k2 q; Y5 f% C6 a* i4 f
and uang, respectively. The longest form of a Final consists of three parts: a medial' x7 d) ^8 `1 j& d+ _. U; r& [. V" Y
(or: semivowel), a main vowel (or: head vowel), and an ending (or, in the case of) o$ c# s; L- S: n# O' A& ^
retroflex suffixes, sometimes two endings, as in the er-sound ming’er ‘tomorrow’).3 @! E! ~ }$ ?% F) Q# `# ^ z
A Final in Mandarin comprises one of four medials: º (empty), /i/, /u/, or /iu/ (= O7 n1 U0 a4 [0 l$ X2 U
