An isolating language is characterized by a low morpheme-per-word ratio, meaning words are typically composed of a single morpheme and grammatical relationships are expressed through word order and auxiliary words rather than inflection. This linguistic typology contrasts with agglutinative and fusional languages, where words often contain multiple morphemes that convey grammatical information.
