Traditional Chinese phonology divides the syllable into an Initial and Final. The
. u: f0 r$ z4 w* TInitial is the way a syllable begins, usually with a consonant. The Final is the+ R4 b$ s# u; b9 Q
syllable minus the Initial. For example, in ta, chi, jin, chuang, the Finals are a, i, in,; \" \# E. e. F( v4 @+ ` M: z5 z
and uang, respectively. The longest form of a Final consists of three parts: a medial! L- i8 Q ~; g9 }3 t Q5 _
(or: semivowel), a main vowel (or: head vowel), and an ending (or, in the case of) E: Y) b1 w* O5 z F8 ~7 L. ~) h6 \
retroflex suffixes, sometimes two endings, as in the er-sound ming’er ‘tomorrow’).
