Traditional Chinese phonology divides the syllable into an Initial and Final. The
5 a4 F l' ^ EInitial is the way a syllable begins, usually with a consonant. The Final is the
: A; h. |2 Q$ @8 C: K; p) v3 S& msyllable minus the Initial. For example, in ta, chi, jin, chuang, the Finals are a, i, in,
0 g G- C& L9 [0 X" k9 Pand uang, respectively. The longest form of a Final consists of three parts: a medial
. x; p& @7 K7 g7 J4 w(or: semivowel), a main vowel (or: head vowel), and an ending (or, in the case of. f. o5 ], p8 i* }: o' y0 c m
retroflex suffixes, sometimes two endings, as in the er-sound ming’er ‘tomorrow’).: W- y" v0 C6 s" k4 n9 G7 F8 i
A Final in Mandarin comprises one of four medials: º (empty), /i/, /u/, or /iu/ (=& \6 G6 f+ p3 {
