=== Latin === The interpunct ({{lang|la|interpunctus}}) was regularly used in [[classical Latin]] to separate words. In addition to the most common round form, [[inscription]]s sometimes use a small [[equilateral triangle]] for the interpunct, pointing either up or down. It may also appear as a mid-line comma, similar to the [[#Greek|Greek]] practice of the time. The interpunct fell out of use {{circa|lk=no|200 CE}}, and [[Latin]] was then written {{lang|la|[[scripta continua]]}} for several centuries.{{citation needed|date=March 2015}}
