Traditional Chinese phonology divides the syllable into an Initial and Final. The

syllable minus the Initial. For example, in ta, chi, jin, chuang, the Finals are a, i, in,
/ f6 k( t7 p: v' G4 @and uang, respectively. The longest form of a Final consists of three parts: a medial

[y], one of three vowels: /a/, /e/, or /o/, and one of six endings: º, -i, -u, -n, -N, and [”]3 z' V% T' r( @
