Traditional Chinese phonology divides the syllable into an Initial and Final. The/ q4 B: b0 p5 ]
Initial is the way a syllable begins, usually with a consonant. The Final is the
: z5 E+ T2 ^+ @4 @5 Nsyllable minus the Initial. For example, in ta, chi, jin, chuang, the Finals are a, i, in,; X4 R' N' P F2 e0 m, x- R
and uang, respectively. The longest form of a Final consists of three parts: a medial A/ v% g8 k- H, k) P
(or: semivowel), a main vowel (or: head vowel), and an ending (or, in the case of
& [% r! v. O+ \6 I$ {retroflex suffixes, sometimes two endings, as in the er-sound ming’er ‘tomorrow’).
