Analytical Language

An isolating language is morphological typology a language that is extremely analytical, that is to say where all the words remain unchanged regardless of syntactic function.

The isolating languages are traditionally opposed to agglutinating languages , the languages fusional (or inflectional) and especially to polysynthetic languages.

Typical examples of isolating languages are Chinese and Vietnamese. The shades are usually made by the context and intonation.
