Sequential word repetitions in the VMS

The wiki has a huge amount of examples from many language families: You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.
I'm not saying that it must be one of the languages listed in the wiki of course.

It may be interesting to see if we can check a text in one of the listed languages just to get an idea. Too bad nobody on the forum can understand these.

Thai uses reduplication for two cases, one to make a particular kind of plural, and the other resulting from the fact that some classifier words (something European languages tend not to use) are the same as the nouns they classify.

Conveniently, Thai usually does not repeat the word in writing, but uses a special symbol (ๆ) which just means: previous word repeated.

Edit (addition): however, very inconveniently, Thai does not use spaces to separate words. They are just strung together. So, while it would be very easy to count the reduplications in a text, it is not easy to automatically count the different words...
