Traditional Chinese phonology divides the syllable into an Initial and Final. The
6 ^2 W* |- v/ SInitial is the way a syllable begins, usually with a consonant. The Final is the+ S2 B; L0 L3 p9 A/ b4 x/ m/ m
syllable minus the Initial. For example, in ta, chi, jin, chuang, the Finals are a, i, in,8 \1 n" g0 C. D/ z! _
and uang, respectively. The longest form of a Final consists of three parts: a medial
