Traditional Chinese phonology divides the syllable into an Initial and Final. The7 Z& G+ ]# q* ?! g' I) |) A* Z; V
Initial is the way a syllable begins, usually with a consonant. The Final is the, ]3 }$ |, a. Q M3 q" t; s
syllable minus the Initial. For example, in ta, chi, jin, chuang, the Finals are a, i, in,
