How can I set Vim to obey accents of my spoken language?

When pressing w or e in sentences with accents (written in my native language), such as the first one (marked **) here:

**Éj-mélybol fölzengo**
- csing-ling-ling - száncsengo.
Száncsengo - csing-ling-ling -
tél csendjén halkan ring.          [1]

the characters o, ö, among others [2], make my gVim think they are word-ends so it stops on them (in Normal mode). gVim stops on the positions marked with _ where it shouldn't:

Éj-mélyb_ol f_ölzeng_o.

I would like to set gVim so it properly handle words even when containing accents and other local characters. But where do I set this?

I use it on Win32, vim v 7.3.46.

[2] - "others", not mentioned here :) like í, u are also a problem. On the other hand, gVim seems to already work with é and á.
