Editing Word divider (section)

===None===
Alphabetic writing without inter-word separation, known as ''[[scriptio continua]]'', was used in Ancient Egyptian. It appeared in Post-classical Latin after several centuries of the use of the interpunct.

Traditionally, ''scriptio continua'' was used for the [[Brahmic scripts|Indic alphabets]] of South and Southeast Asia and [[hangul]] of Korea, but spacing is now used with hangul and increasingly with the Indic alphabets.

Today [[Written Chinese|Chinese]] and [[Japanese writing|Japanese]] are the most widely used scripts consistently written without punctuation to separate words, though other scripts such as [[Thai script|Thai]] and [[Lao script|Lao]] also follow this writing convention. In Classical Chinese, a word and a [[Chinese character|character]] were almost the same thing, so that word dividers would have been superfluous. Although [[Standard Mandarin|Modern Mandarin]] has numerous polysyllabic words, and each syllable is written with a distinct character, the conceptual link between character and word or at least [[morpheme]] remains strong, and no need is felt for word separation apart from what characters already provide. This link is also found in the [[Vietnamese language]]; however, in the [[Vietnamese alphabet]], virtually all syllables are separated by spaces, whether or not they form word boundaries.
