Problem capturing string type with Altorouter router

I’m using Altorouter to make the page call of my project, and in his doc says that to use "Match Types" custom just add

$router->addMatchTypes(array('cId' => '[a-zA-Z]{2}[0-9](?:_[0-9]++)?'));

However, I tried using this rule: |^[\pL\s]+$|u, that validates letters (including accents) and spaces and did not work, I saw that the standard rules that are in the class are like this:

protected $matchTypes = array(
        'i'  => '[0-9]++',
        'a'  => '[0-9A-Za-z]++',
        'h'  => '[0-9A-Fa-f]++',
        '*'  => '.+?',
        '**' => '.++',
        ''   => '[^/\.]++',
    );

I also tried to insert the rule already in the class and also did not succeed, I understand very little of Regex, but it seems that the standard rules are written in a different way and "lean", following this pattern, as I can validate only letters (including with accents), spaces and numbers?

The expression is correct except for the alternator | which is inserted in its first position. Remove it and leave the expression as follows:

^[\pL\s]+$|u

You can check it working on regex101

If you want to "dry" the expression and make it more readable, you can use:

^[a-zA-ZÀ-ÿ\s]+$

You can check it working on regex101
