Traditional Chinese phonology divides the syllable into an Initial and Final. The: Q4 ]3 l/ ?5 \: `' a1 T
Initial is the way a syllable begins, usually with a consonant. The Final is the; U+ m7 }1 [% ~; I: }) y
syllable minus the Initial. For example, in ta, chi, jin, chuang, the Finals are a, i, in,
, A' O) W5 F! Eand 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’).

(phonetically -r).13 Actually, there are only 40 different Finals (if Finals involving
