Ger (yezhoniezh) : diforc'h etre ar stummoù

Depending on the language, words can sometimes be difficult to identify or delimit. While word separators, most often [[space (punctuation)|space]]s, are commonplace in the written corpus of several languages, some languages such as [[Chinese language|Chinese]] and [[Japanese language|Japanese]] do not use these. Words may contain spaces, however, if they are [[compound (linguistics)|compounds]] or [[proper noun]]s such as ''ice cream'' and ''the United States of America''. Furthermore, [[synthetic language]]s often combine many different pieces of lexical data into single words, making it difficult to boil them down to the traditional sense of words found more easily in [[analytic language]]s; this is especially problematic for [[polysynthetic language]]s such as [[Inuktitut]] and [[Ubykh language|Ubykh]] where entire sentences may consist of single such words. Especially confusing are languages such as [[Vietnamese language|Vietnamese]], where spaces do not necessarily indicate breaks in words and boundaries must be determined by the context of the piece. ▼
