Traditional Chinese phonology divides the syllable into an Initial and Final. The
* h2 j) Y |' qInitial is the way a syllable begins, usually with a consonant. The Final is the
, `/ l: f5 ?; esyllable minus the Initial. For example, in ta, chi, jin, chuang, the Finals are a, i, in,
% B8 a4 U" \4 A5 Q6 Qand 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’).
