Such applications take advantage of a trie's ability to quickly search for, insert, and delete entries ; however, if storing dictionary words is all that is required ( i. e. storage of information auxiliary to each word is not required ), a minimal acyclic deterministic finite automaton would use less space than a trie.

In many tonal African languages, such as most Bantu languages, however, tones are distinguished by their relative level, words are longer, there are fewer minimal tone pairs, and a single tone may be carried by the entire word, rather than a different tone on each syllable.
