Tokenization and Word Segmentation
- Words are generally delimited by whitespace or punctuation. Exceptions:

- Abbreviations are treated as single words: m.a., o.s.fr.
- Words with spaces are not used.
- Imperative verbal forms are treated as multi-word tokens and segmented to individual syntactic words.
Morphology
The PoS-tags follow the universal tag set and do not add any language-specific PoS-tags. The language specific features were converted automatically to the UD scheme from other tagsets.
Tags
- Faroese uses all 17 universal tags.
- The only word tagged with PART is the infinitive marker at.
- Auxiliaries (AUX) are all verbal in Faroese and can be grouped into four types:
- The copula vera (be) and blíva (become).
- The auxiliary hava (have), selects the supine form of the main.
- The auxiliaries verða (become) and fáa (can) which select a verbal past participle.
- Modal and aspectual verbs that combine with the bare infinitive of the main verb, such as mega (may), vilja (want), munna (will), kunna (be able to) and skula (shall).
- The tag DET is used for articles and pronominal words used with a determiner function, including possessives. The tag PRON is reserved for pronouns occurring as the head of a noun phrase.
- Foreign proper names are tagged PROPN.
Features
- Nouns have inherent gender (masc, fem or neutral), inflect for number (singular or plural), case (nominative, accusative, dative or genitive) and can take indefinite or definite article.
- Verbs can be used in the passive and the active voice. Finite forms in indicative or subjunctive mood in addition inflect for Tense (present or past), person (1, 2 or 3) and number (singular or plural). The imperative mood inflects for number (singular or plural). There are three types of nonfinite forms: infinitives, participles (present and past), and supine (used to form perfect tenses together with the auxiliary have). The past participle additionally inflects for gender (masc, fem or neutral), number (singular or plural) and case (nom or acc).
