GeographyV2 prebuilt entity for a LUIS app

Important

Language Understanding Intelligent Service (LUIS) will be fully retired on March 31, 2026. LUIS resource creation isn't available. Beginning on October 31, 2025, the LUIS portal will no longer be available. We recommend migrating your LUIS applications to conversational language understanding to benefit from continued product support and multilingual capabilities.

The prebuilt geographyV2 entity detects places. Because this entity is already trained, you do not need to add example utterances containing GeographyV2 to the application intents. GeographyV2 entity is supported in English culture.

Subtypes

The geographical locations have subtypes:

Subtype Purpose
