Traditional Chinese phonology divides the syllable into an Initial and Final. The) Q6 _) Z; i8 g( J! e/ Y& t
Initial is the way a syllable begins, usually with a consonant. The Final is the
# O8 ~/ t6 H, E# K7 fsyllable minus the Initial. For example, in ta, chi, jin, chuang, the Finals are a, i, in,
4 e1 t/ T; V5 Hand uang, respectively. The longest form of a Final consists of three parts: a medial ~9 t& ^( L: i7 z- S
(or: semivowel), a main vowel (or: head vowel), and an ending (or, in the case of1 X& M l6 ?+ w
retroflex suffixes, sometimes two endings, as in the er-sound ming’er ‘tomorrow’).
