Traditional Chinese phonology divides the syllable into an Initial and Final. The# j! \+ A. i! a' ~; P) N |8 j) Y
Initial is the way a syllable begins, usually with a consonant. The Final is the
8 ~( c& u+ P3 l, G7 a1 Dsyllable minus the Initial. For example, in ta, chi, jin, chuang, the Finals are a, i, in,: L$ D4 C$ i# i! m$ ]7 r) o' h
and uang, respectively. The longest form of a Final consists of three parts: a medial

retroflex suffixes, sometimes two endings, as in the er-sound ming’er ‘tomorrow’).
