Traditional Chinese phonology divides the syllable into an Initial and Final. The1 O' ?5 ^$ ?( E
Initial is the way a syllable begins, usually with a consonant. The Final is the- Z5 V x5 V) _3 n% c
syllable minus the Initial. For example, in ta, chi, jin, chuang, the Finals are a, i, in,
; K- n- H; l" q; H* ^and uang, respectively. The longest form of a Final consists of three parts: a medial: G* Q4 y( F% i M
