NoaLingua Glossary
Morphology — the NoaLingua glossary
Morphology is the study of how words change form to express grammatical meaning — tense, number, case, gender, person.
Languages differ enormously in how much of it they have. English has very little: a handful of endings and some irregular verbs. Finnish, Turkish and Hungarian are agglutinative and stack many meanings onto one stem. Chinese, Vietnamese and Thai are analytic and have essentially none, expressing the same distinctions with separate words instead.
That variation is why "does this tool support my language" is not a yes-or-no question. A conjugation table is essential for French and meaningless for Chinese.
In NoaLingua Grammar tables come from UniMorph and exist for 24 of the 28 languages. The four without are Chinese, Vietnamese and Thai — where there is genuinely nothing to conjugate — and Finnish, where the dataset is published in a form the downloader cannot yet handle.
