Morphological typology
Morphological typology is a way of classifying the languages of the world 
that groups languages according to their common morphological structures. First 
developed by brothers Friedrich von Schlegel and August von Schlegel, the field 
organizes languages on the basis of how those languages form words by combining 
morphemes. Two primary categories exist to distinguish all languages: analytic 
languages and synthetic languages, where each term refers to the opposite end of a 
continuous scale including all the world's languages. 
Analytic languages
Analytic languages show a low ratio of morphemes to words; in fact, the 
correspondence is nearly one-to-one. Sentences in analytic languages are 
composed of independent root morphemes. Grammatical relations between words 
are expressed by separate words where they might otherwise be expressed by 
affixes, which are present to a minimal degree in such languages. There is little to 
no morphological change in words: they tend to be uninflected. Grammatical 
categories are indicated by word order (for example, inversion of verb and subject 
for interrogative sentences) or by bringing in additional words (for example, a 
word for "some" or "many" instead of a plural inflection like English "-s"). 
Individual words carry a general meaning (root concept); nuances are expressed by 
other 
words.

morphology. 
Analytic languages include some of the major East Asian languages, such as 
Chinese, and Vietnamese. Additionally, English is moderately analytic (probably 
one of the most analytic of Indo-European languages). 
Synthetic languages
Synthetic languages form words by affixing a given number of dependent 
morphemes to a root morpheme. The morphemes may be distinguishable from the 
root, or they may not. They may be fused with it or among themselves (in that 
multiple pieces of grammatical information may potentially be packed into one 
morpheme). Word order is less important for these languages than it is for analytic 
languages since individual words express the grammatical relations that would 
otherwise be indicated by syntax. In addition, there tends to be a high degree of 
concordance (agreement, or cross-reference between different parts of the 
sentence). Therefore, morphology in synthetic languages is more important than 
syntax. Most Indo-European languages are moderately synthetic. 
There are two subtypes of synthesis, according to whether morphemes are 
clearly differentiable or not. These subtypes are "agglutinative" and "fusional" (or 
"inflectional" or "flectional" in older terminology).
