Traditional Chinese phonology divides the syllable into an Initial and Final. The, {$ V( i9 u( m6 m% t$ ~6 H3 i
Initial is the way a syllable begins, usually with a consonant. The Final is the2 J; Z5 b; E1 Q
syllable minus the Initial. For example, in ta, chi, jin, chuang, the Finals are a, i, in,
1 D6 S, D! i5 w1 {and uang, respectively. The longest form of a Final consists of three parts: a medial
3 g* o6 S4 k6 l# V(or: semivowel), a main vowel (or: head vowel), and an ending (or, in the case of
6 i! c) h \3 x8 ?retroflex suffixes, sometimes two endings, as in the er-sound ming’er ‘tomorrow’).. U" N' ^7 _; P0 p$ q) j/ k
A Final in Mandarin comprises one of four medials: º (empty), /i/, /u/, or /iu/ (=

(phonetically -r).13 Actually, there are only 40 different Finals (if Finals involving3 B# Z* }% P( ~: C! H$ E+ t& ?5 l: q1 q
