Traditional Chinese phonology divides the syllable into an Initial and Final. The
" L/ g5 e/ }3 ]2 R1 C9 l$ O, eInitial is the way a syllable begins, usually with a consonant. The Final is the( w3 k. {: ]4 Y8 R2 m
syllable minus the Initial. For example, in ta, chi, jin, chuang, the Finals are a, i, in,4 D% B H; l2 E' b7 F
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’).
