\n

This is the <\/span>fourth<\/strong> <\/span>of four tables illustrating which pairings of initials and finals do occur in Mandarin Chinese and, by omission, which do not.<\/p>\n

The initial <\/span>b<\/font><\/b>, for instance, may be paired with <\/span>a<\/font><\/b>, but not with <\/span>e<\/font><\/b><\/font>, since <\/span>ba<\/b>is a sound in Mandarin Chinese, whilebe<\/b> <\/span>is not.<\/p>\n

By the way, don’t let the great number of sounds you see represented here alarm you. The majority of these are seldom used.<\/p>\n

And in Table 4, as you see below, the possible initial + final pairing are few in number. Which is a good thing, because I think it would actually <\/span>hurt<\/em> <\/span>to say <\/span>züan<\/em> <\/span>orshün<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n

Table 4 finals, when not preceded by an initial, change the üe to y, though the vowel sound does not change.<\/p>\n
