> As of Lucene 3.1, StandardTokenizer implements UAX#29 word boundary rules to provide language-neutral tokenization. Lucene contains several language-specific tokenizers that should be replaced by UAX#29-based StandardTokenizer (deprecated in 3.1 and removed in 4.0). The language-specific *analyzers*, by contrast, should remain, because they contain language-specific post-tokenization filters. The language-specific analyzers should switch to StandardTokenizer in 3.1.
> Some usages of language-specific tokenizers will need additional work beyond just replacing the tokenizer in the language-specific analyzer.
> For example, PersianAnalyzer currently uses ArabicLetterTokenizer, and depends on the fact that this tokenizer breaks tokens on the ZWNJ character (zero-width non-joiner; U+200C), but in the UAX#29 word boundary rules, ZWNJ is not a word boundary. Robert Muir has suggested using a char filter converting ZWNJ to spaces prior to StandardTokenizer in the converted PersianAnalyzer.
