Traditional Chinese phonology divides the syllable into an Initial and Final. The0 H* y. Q; Q2 F
Initial is the way a syllable begins, usually with a consonant. The Final is the: a, ~& s" W9 i' H
syllable minus the Initial. For example, in ta, chi, jin, chuang, the Finals are a, i, in,
: Z) J2 e5 r0 ^' oand uang, respectively. The longest form of a Final consists of three parts: a medial, z! A" V% _, g4 }
(or: semivowel), a main vowel (or: head vowel), and an ending (or, in the case of4 [: J' z3 l, E' j* a5 ]7 s) ]
retroflex suffixes, sometimes two endings, as in the er-sound ming’er ‘tomorrow’).
