Table of all MLT finals

Tables of all the finals in Modern Literal Taiwanese (MLT/MTL) have been compiled. The final contains the vowel, tone, and any consonant endings.

Method

266 distinct finals were found in the main entries of Dictionary of Frequently-Used Taiwan Minnan. First, 17,916 rows in the two main sections (starting with #1 & #50001) were considered. Each TRS word was separated into syllables, yielding a total of 35,859 syllables, from which 2,080 distinct syllables were counted. Each syllable was then converted into MTL and broken into initial and final parts. Finally, the finals were counted.
