The final, also called the rhyme, or in Chinese yunmu (PY: ynmǔ, TC: 韻母, SC: 韵母), is an important concept in the phonological study of Chinese languages. It is also used in the study of some other Asian languages of these families: Hmong-Mien, Mon-Khmer, Tai-Kadai, Tibeto-Burman, etc.
The final is the second part of a syllable. The first part is called the inital. Tonal languages has the tone as the third component.
The area of linguistics that puts effort into the understanding the sounds of a language is Phonetics, a sub-category of Phonetics, which deals specifically with the ways sounds are organized into the individual languages and studies the subset of those sounds that constitute language and meaning, is Phonology.
According to Rogers (2000) “phonemes can be thought of as instructions for articulating speech-sounds, and so a phoneme can be described in terms of the behavior of the vocal apparatus that occurs when a physiologically normal speaker articulates his or her particular representation of the phoneme.
”any consonant except for h,r,w,j may be final consonant.
