Traditional Chinese phonology divides the syllable into an Initial and Final. The
# S6 C% z1 j$ L" @, O' G* DInitial is the way a syllable begins, usually with a consonant. The Final is the/ \# {, F7 m; J& B/ e, l+ x
syllable minus the Initial. For example, in ta, chi, jin, chuang, the Finals are a, i, in,; U( K* \. H% c
and uang, respectively. The longest form of a Final consists of three parts: a medial
# Z' y+ k0 Q" O! V. U4 F2 r(or: semivowel), a main vowel (or: head vowel), and an ending (or, in the case of
0 D5 i* S& [% Q# b) mretroflex suffixes, sometimes two endings, as in the er-sound ming’er ‘tomorrow’).
( R0 ]1 X& v: y iA Final in Mandarin comprises one of four medials: º (empty), /i/, /u/, or /iu/ (=2 X+ q* }0 g, X% F n: D
