Traditional Chinese phonology divides the syllable into an Initial and Final. The
$ c# }, f: b8 _5 u$ F* s( o! zInitial is the way a syllable begins, usually with a consonant. The Final is the
' r& G- C; J* E: [ e/ s. asyllable minus the Initial. For example, in ta, chi, jin, chuang, the Finals are a, i, in,# o, `. P4 [: j+ E8 D/ E
and uang, respectively. The longest form of a Final consists of three parts: a medial8 I8 h8 Y( c; O" F+ V' V/ m
(or: semivowel), a main vowel (or: head vowel), and an ending (or, in the case of
