Traditional Chinese phonology divides the syllable into an Initial and Final. The
- o2 f" }7 H5 q/ Q* ZInitial is the way a syllable begins, usually with a consonant. The Final is the
. [& R h# b- w$ K" ~syllable minus the Initial. For example, in ta, chi, jin, chuang, the Finals are a, i, in,: J+ K+ f; y8 f3 `# A' O: y
and uang, respectively. The longest form of a Final consists of three parts: a medial
6 Y+ Q7 s8 e! U3 ]$ g9 V3 [3 y(or: semivowel), a main vowel (or: head vowel), and an ending (or, in the case of
6 b* v6 E7 M* [, f5 yretroflex suffixes, sometimes two endings, as in the er-sound ming’er ‘tomorrow’).
