Word counting is not as trivial as it seems. Most languages use spaces to separate words, but languages like Chinese and Japanese treat each character as a word, and there are no spaces. Therefore, we treat them slightly differently from Latin languages.

If you:

  1. Know a non-CJK language that doesn't use spaces to separate words
  2. Know the exact unicode range of characters that can be "standalone words"
  3. Have backed up arguments about whether Katakana characters should be counted as words (see feat: add CJK support #35 (comment))
  4. Other valuable comments about our implementation

Please don't hesitate to open an issue, send a pull request, or reach out to me or @ngryman in any possible way!
