title: How do I match words in different languages
body: <p>How can I write a regular expression to efficiently match both Swedish and English words?</p>
  
  <p>I must be able to match the likes of Å, é and '. I think 123 is also a word. I even think 1:e and 1st are words... </p>
  
  <p>How would I proceed if I wish to match words from Russian and Japanese also. </p>
  
  <p>Thanks,</p>
  
  <p>Barry</p>
  
  <p>P.S. The following are not words and should not be matched:</p>
  
  <p><br>, =HELLO=, @NEW_LINE_MARKER, can"t, hel*o, /new/</p>
  
  <p>Also,  </p>
  
  <p>This string "Hey! What? Yes, I'm coming." should be split into:</p>
  
  <p>(Hey, 
  What, 
  Yes I'm coming)</p>
