Traditional Chinese phonology divides the syllable into an Initial and Final. The) N& l2 A7 G, h; {/ [( u" [ W- \
Initial is the way a syllable begins, usually with a consonant. The Final is the) ~* D7 ^$ h! A- I0 p* w, [
syllable minus the Initial. For example, in ta, chi, jin, chuang, the Finals are a, i, in,# d) b& t) A3 c3 q4 O% \3 d9 Q
and uang, respectively. The longest form of a Final consists of three parts: a medial

retroflex suffixes, sometimes two endings, as in the er-sound ming’er ‘tomorrow’).
