A '''list of all finals in Taiwanese Hokkien''' is presented in the following files using the [[Modern Taiwanese Language]] writing system, which integrates tone into the spelling of the final part of the [[syllable]] (the initial consonant is not affected). Note that several finals do not exist as standalone syllables or words.
'''Tables of all MLT finals'''. In a Taiwanese [[imcied|syllable]], there are two main parts: '''initial''' + '''final''', where the final includes [[Tones of Taiwanese|tone]]. In the [[Modern Literal Taiwanese|MLT]] writing system, the final may include up to three parts:

:: '''vowel''' + '''tone''' + optional '''final consonant'''
