Traditional Chinese phonology divides the syllable into an Initial and Final. The
) B7 O# q' ~5 w3 i+ oInitial is the way a syllable begins, usually with a consonant. The Final is the; R0 P! K0 M+ y v8 f+ n
syllable minus the Initial. For example, in ta, chi, jin, chuang, the Finals are a, i, in,

(or: semivowel), a main vowel (or: head vowel), and an ending (or, in the case of

A Final in Mandarin comprises one of four medials: º (empty), /i/, /u/, or /iu/ (=
