Word and Character Counters by Language

Pick your text's language: each page shows the counts its limits are set in, named in that language.

A word count is one number until the text stops being English. Spanish opens a question with ¿, which adds a character and no word.

More about these tools

French hangs l' and d' on the next word, and the pair counts as one. A Korean limit may be set in words or in syllable blocks, so that page shows both. Japanese is written without spaces, so its page leads with characters, splits them into kanji, hiragana and katakana, and calls its word count an estimate. Chinese is written the same way, and its page counts Chinese characters apart from punctuation. Arabic is usually written without its vowel marks and sometimes with them, so one sentence has two lengths. The counting is the same on every page. What changes is which counts are shown, their names, the short forms that end no sentence (Srta., av. J.-C., د.), and the notes on what each number includes.
