Scriptio continua (Latin for "continuous script") is a style of writing that does not use spaces, different letter cases, or punctuation to tell apart words, phrases, or sentences. It was a common way of writing for texts in Ancient Greek and Classical Latin.  Although spoken Greek and Latin did use punctuation to tell words apart, "scriptio continua" was used to save space and ink.  Use of "scriptio continua" became less common after the fall of the Roman Empire, and spaces began to appear between words. The first known documents that used spacing were Irish and Anglo-Saxon Bibles and Gospels. However, "scriptio continua" is still used for the writing systems for several modern languages, including Southeast Asian abugidas like Thai, Lao, Khmer, Burmese, Javanese, Balinese, and Tibetan.

The first sentence is the biblical verse John 3:16 in the King James Version written in English using "scriptio continua" writing, and the second is the same sentence written in English using spaces, punctuation and cases. Due to the internet, modern English developed a form of "scriptio continua" through email and URL web addresses.
