Traditional Chinese phonology divides the syllable into an Initial and Final. The
/ v. }% ?3 m1 Q; S% g) UInitial is the way a syllable begins, usually with a consonant. The Final is the2 l0 p; e0 ^/ s1 g5 _( ~% I W
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$ u! v% _5 `7 J& Q1 V1 M
retroflex suffixes, sometimes two endings, as in the er-sound ming’er ‘tomorrow’).
