\n

This is the <\/span>third<\/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
