Traditional Chinese phonology divides the syllable into an Initial and Final. The
4 \( q7 N9 _4 i9 H' Y9 L$ c: RInitial is the way a syllable begins, usually with a consonant. The Final is the
$ x7 C x0 q* P; gsyllable minus the Initial. For example, in ta, chi, jin, chuang, the Finals are a, i, in,
" i. `6 R# I8 J& D% ~and uang, respectively. The longest form of a Final consists of three parts: a medial7 G; G' R( B$ ]
(or: semivowel), a main vowel (or: head vowel), and an ending (or, in the case of+ U: R7 _& B0 k, w, ^( K( W2 e
retroflex suffixes, sometimes two endings, as in the er-sound ming’er ‘tomorrow’).
; G& q/ o3 I& s; `! c9 l0 C9 GA Final in Mandarin comprises one of four medials: º (empty), /i/, /u/, or /iu/ (=
