ㄙ*

*ㄙ changes to ㄒ before y, w, and i. ㄅㄉ ㄆㄊ ㄇㄋ ㄈㄌ

  • Foreign words only: ㄈ=f, ㄪ=v ㄫ=ŋ, ㄖ=r, and ㄦ=rr.
  • Never used: ㄓ, ㄔ, ㄕ, ㄩ, ㄗ, and ㄘ.

Then come "finals". Some of these are "creative" bopomofo. Apologies.

  • w on-glide may not have a w off-glide, except ㄨㄚㄨ
  • w on-glide may not go with an initial 両唇音 (ㄅ, ㄆ, or ㄇ)
  • No E-vowel may have a w off-glide
  • y on-glide may not have a y off-glide, except for 軟口蓋音 (ㄍ, ㄎ, ø, ㄏ) + a/e and ㄒㄧㄩ
  • ㄅ and ㄆ may not have a y or w on-glide, except for the ㄉㄨㄚ-series
  • ㄐ and ㄑ may not have a y or w on-glide, except for the ㄐㄨㄚ and ㄐㄨㄝ-series
  • ㄋ and ㄌ may not have a w on-glide


Many, many examples with final -p,-t,-k,-n,-m,-ng do not exist, but are not technically forbidden, and are indicated with light grey. On the following table, black indicates a natural gap, whereas dark grey indicates a forbidden gap. There is are two syllables that doesn't fit on this chart: ㄨㄧㄥ and ㄨㄧㄎ (one could imagine ㄨㄧㄩ, ㄨㄧㄊ, ㄨㄧㄆ, and ㄨㄧㄋ; but they do not occur).
