# Standard tokenizer [analysis-standard-tokenizer]
The `standard` tokenizer provides grammar based tokenization (based on the Unicode Text Segmentation algorithm, as specified in [Unicode Standard Annex #29](https://unicode.org/reports/tr29/)) and works well for most languages.
## Example output [_example_output_16]
```console
POST _analyze
{
"tokenizer": "standard",
"text": "The 2 QUICK Brown-Foxes jumped over the lazy dog's bone."
}
```
The above sentence would produce the following terms:
```text
[ The, 2, QUICK, Brown, Foxes, jumped, over, the, lazy, dog's, bone ]
```
## Configuration [_configuration_19]
The `standard` tokenizer accepts the following parameters:
`max_token_length`
: The maximum token length. If a token is seen that exceeds this length then it is split at `max_token_length` intervals. Defaults to `255`.
## Example configuration [_example_configuration_13]
In this example, we configure the `standard` tokenizer to have a `max_token_length` of 5 (for demonstration purposes):
```console
PUT my-index-000001
{
"settings": {
"analysis": {
"analyzer": {
"my_analyzer": {
"tokenizer": "my_tokenizer"
}
},
"tokenizer": {
"my_tokenizer": {
"type": "standard",
"max_token_length": 5
}
}
}
}
}
POST my-index-000001/_analyze
{
"analyzer": "my_analyzer",
"text": "The 2 QUICK Brown-Foxes jumped over the lazy dog's bone."
}
```
The above example produces the following terms:
```text
[ The, 2, QUICK, Brown, Foxes, jumpe, d, over, the, lazy, dog's, bone ]
```
