+# Classic tokenizer
+
+The `classic` tokenizer parses English text, applying grammatical rules to break the text into tokens. It includes specific logic to handle patterns such as:
+
+- acronyms 
+- email addresses
+- domain names
+- certain types of punctuation
+
+This tokenizer works best with the English language. It may not produce optimal results for other languages, especially those with different grammatical structures.
+{: .note}
+
+The `classic` tokenizer parses text as follows:
+
+- **Punctuation**: Splits text at most punctuation marks and removes punctuation characters. Dots that aren't followed by spaces are treated as part of the token.
+- **Hyphens**: Splits words at hyphens, except when a number is present. When a number is present in a token, the token is not split and is treated like a product number. 
+- **Email**: Recognizes email addresses and hostnames and keeps them as single tokens.
+
+## Example usage
+
+The following example request creates a new index named `my_index` and configures an analyzer with a `classic` tokenizer:
+
+```json
+PUT /my_index
+{
+  "settings": {
+    "analysis": {
+      "analyzer": {
+        "my_classic_analyzer": {
+          "type": "custom",
+          "tokenizer": "classic"
+        }
+      }
+    }
+  },
+  "mappings": {
+    "properties": {
+      "content": {
+        "type": "text",
+        "analyzer": "my_classic_analyzer"
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+{% include copy-curl.html %}
+
+## Generated tokens
+
+Use the following request to examine the tokens generated using the analyzer:
+
+```json
+POST /my_index/_analyze
+{
+  "analyzer": "my_classic_analyzer",
+  "text": "For product AB3423, visit X&Y at example.com, email info@example.com, or call the operator's phone number 1-800-555-1234. P.S. 你好."
+}
+```
+{% include copy-curl.html %}
+
+The response contains the generated tokens:
+
+```json

+## Token types
+
+The `classic` tokenizer produces the following token types.
+
+| Token type    | Description  | 
+| :--- | :--- | 
+| `<ALPHANUM>`  | Alphanumeric tokens consisting of letters, numbers, or a combination of both.                     | 
+| `<APOSTROPHE>`| Tokens containing an apostrophe, commonly used in possessives or contractions (for example, `John's`).   |
+| `<ACRONYM>`   | Acronyms or abbreviations, often identified by a trailing period (for example, `P.S.` or `U.S.A.`).     |
+| `<COMPANY>`   | Tokens representing company names (for example, `X&Y`). If these tokens aren’t produced automatically, you may need custom configurations or filters.  | 
+| `<EMAIL>`     | Tokens that match email addresses, containing an `@` symbol and a domain (for example,`support@widgets.co` or `info@example.com`). |
+| `<HOST>`      | Tokens matching website or host names, often containing `www.` or a domain suffix like `.com` (for example, `www.example.com` or `example.org`).  |
+| `<NUM>`       | Purely numeric tokens or numeric-like sequences (for example, `1-800`, `12345`, or `3.14`).     |
+| `<CJ>`        | Tokens representing Chinese or Japanese characters.   |
+| `<ACRONYM_DEP>` | Deprecated acronym handling (for example, acronyms with different parsing rules in older versions). Rarely used; exists primarily for backward compatibility with legacy tokenizer rules. |
