Traditional Chinese phonology divides the syllable into an Initial and Final. The
" F8 J5 G! ~' V# w' lInitial is the way a syllable begins, usually with a consonant. The Final is the5 {! k% I% w9 f1 {' u+ t; g( W
syllable minus the Initial. For example, in ta, chi, jin, chuang, the Finals are a, i, in,1 S- g* \1 Z# O. c5 S
and uang, respectively. The longest form of a Final consists of three parts: a medial1 ~; Y1 A2 h S
(or: semivowel), a main vowel (or: head vowel), and an ending (or, in the case of

[y], one of three vowels: /a/, /e/, or /o/, and one of six endings: º, -i, -u, -n, -N, and [”]4 v* G- }. K: ^$ D* b! O8 e
(phonetically -r).13 Actually, there are only 40 different Finals (if Finals involving. ]1 i5 H& W, ^2 J4 c
