Editing Wade–Giles (section)

====Syllabic consonants====
Like [[Yale romanization of Mandarin|Yale]] and [[Mandarin Phonetic Symbols II]], Wade–Giles renders the two types of [[syllabic consonant]] ({{lang-zh|s=空韵|t=空韻}}; Wade–Giles: ''k{{wg-apos}}ung<sup>1</sup>-yün<sup>4</sup>''; [[Hànyǔ Pīnyīn]]: ''kōngyùn'') differently: 
* ''-ŭ'' is used after the [[sibilant]]s written in this position (and this position only) as ''tz'', ''tz{{wg-apos}}'' and ''ss'' (Pīnyīn ''z'', ''c'' and ''s'').
* ''-ih'' is used after the [[retroflex]] ''ch'', ''ch{{wg-apos}}'', ''sh'', and ''j'' (Pīnyīn ''zh'', ''ch'', ''sh'', and ''r'').
These finals are both written as ''-ih'' in [[Tongyòng Pinyin]], as ''-i'' in [[Hànyǔ Pīnyīn]] (hence distinguishable only by the initial from {{IPA|[i]}} as in ''li''), and as ''-y'' in [[Spelling in Gwoyeu Romatzyh|Gwoyeu Romatzyh]] and [[Simplified Wade]]. They are typically omitted in [[Bōpōmōfō|Zhùyīn (Bōpōmōfō)]].
