Traditional Chinese phonology divides the syllable into an Initial and Final. The
! j! q P1 T" o& K/ M& HInitial is the way a syllable begins, usually with a consonant. The Final is the
! ]0 w& \+ H/ F: V# gsyllable minus the Initial. For example, in ta, chi, jin, chuang, the Finals are a, i, in,5 V' w3 T9 d! q% r
and uang, respectively. The longest form of a Final consists of three parts: a medial
6 e, H |5 k/ B4 v(or: semivowel), a main vowel (or: head vowel), and an ending (or, in the case of4 q3 ]2 o4 j. }! h/ O
retroflex suffixes, sometimes two endings, as in the er-sound ming’er ‘tomorrow’).
