The English-language terminology used in the classification of swords is imprecise, and has varied widely over time, with terms such as "broadsword", "long sword", "short-sword", "bastard sword", "great sword", "full-bladed sword", "side-sword", "dual-bladed sword" and "two-handed sword" being used to group together weapons, often with no particular agreed upon definition, relation to one another in regards their technology, and construction or intended use and fighting style.
