Traditional Chinese phonology divides the syllable into an Initial and Final. The
( b; ?8 y! M* M8 V0 W8 [6 I) eInitial is the way a syllable begins, usually with a consonant. The Final is the
- R9 G u' V& s, X" jsyllable minus the Initial. For example, in ta, chi, jin, chuang, the Finals are a, i, in,# }- v; `8 h# ~. |+ c8 }$ P
and uang, respectively. The longest form of a Final consists of three parts: a medial# m, m/ k0 t0 _& d, s7 l
(or: semivowel), a main vowel (or: head vowel), and an ending (or, in the case of; x5 T6 V# f' u F
retroflex suffixes, sometimes two endings, as in the er-sound ming’er ‘tomorrow’).5 w* ?" h2 ?; e2 p
A Final in Mandarin comprises one of four medials: º (empty), /i/, /u/, or /iu/ (=
+ k) k/ r- Y3 w ?. A- M[y], one of three vowels: /a/, /e/, or /o/, and one of six endings: º, -i, -u, -n, -N, and [”]
