I need to implement language analyzers for Canadian French and Mexican Spanish.

As per below documentation, french and Spanish analyzer supported by Elastic Search service:  
[https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/analysis-lang-analyzer.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/analysis-lang-analyzer.html)

there are differences between french and Canadian french ( vocab, synonyms etc)

How can we implement language analyzer for Canadian french?

Welcome!

The built in French analyzer does not include synonyms. I believe that its behavior would also fit the French Canadian language.

Did you try it?

Worse case, you can define your custom analyzer with the same tokenizer and just change some token filters by the ones you want to use.

Thanks David. I have not tried yet for Canadian French but tried French analyzer with few french synonyms. It worked.  
I will try for Canadian french.
