# Letter tokenizer | ||
|
||
The `letter` tokenizer splits text into words on any non-letter characters. It works well for many European languages but struggles with some Asian languages where words aren't separated by spaces. | ||
|
||
## Example usage | ||
|
||
The following example request creates a new index named `my_index` and configures an analyzer with a `letter` tokenizer: | ||
|
||
```json | ||
PUT /my_index | ||
{ | ||
"settings": { | ||
"analysis": { | ||
"analyzer": { | ||
"my_letter_analyzer": { | ||
"type": "custom", | ||
"tokenizer": "letter" | ||
} | ||
} | ||
} | ||
}, | ||
"mappings": { | ||
"properties": { | ||
"content": { | ||
"type": "text", | ||
"analyzer": "my_letter_analyzer" | ||
} | ||
} | ||
} | ||
} | ||
``` | ||
{% include copy-curl.html %} | ||
|
||
## Generated tokens | ||
|
||
Use the following request to examine the tokens generated using the analyzer: | ||
|
||
```json | ||
POST _analyze | ||
{ | ||
"tokenizer": "letter", | ||
"text": "Cats 4EVER love chasing butterflies!" | ||
} | ||
|
||
``` | ||
{% include copy-curl.html %} | ||
|
||
The response contains the generated tokens: | ||
|
||
```json | ||
{ | ||
"tokens": [ | ||
{ | ||
"token": "Cats", | ||
"start_offset": 0, | ||
"end_offset": 4, | ||
"type": "word", | ||
"position": 0 | ||
}, | ||
{ | ||
"token": "EVER", | ||
"start_offset": 6, | ||
"end_offset": 10, | ||
"type": "word", | ||
"position": 1 | ||
}, | ||
{ | ||
"token": "love", | ||
"start_offset": 11, | ||
"end_offset": 15, | ||
"type": "word", | ||
"position": 2 | ||
}, | ||
{ | ||
"token": "chasing", | ||
"start_offset": 16, | ||
"end_offset": 23, | ||
"type": "word", | ||
"position": 3 | ||
}, | ||
{ | ||
"token": "butterflies", | ||
"start_offset": 24, | ||
"end_offset": 35, | ||
"type": "word", | ||
"position": 4 | ||
} | ||
] | ||
} | ||
