Traditional Chinese phonology divides the syllable into an Initial and Final. The7 P, ]* ^: b, ~. y! G* v: g
Initial is the way a syllable begins, usually with a consonant. The Final is the
n, @7 q3 R% X7 [9 p5 K% ksyllable minus the Initial. For example, in ta, chi, jin, chuang, the Finals are a, i, in,, _" ~6 P. ^9 J
and uang, respectively. The longest form of a Final consists of three parts: a medial: h7 O2 N1 R( |+ n. p& x* @; r$ h
(or: semivowel), a main vowel (or: head vowel), and an ending (or, in the case of
