The word punctuation in a sentence

1. What is Punctuation?

Punctuation is the collection of marks that we use to make sentences flow smoothly and express meaning clearly. It tells us when to pause or add a certain feeling to our words; it separates ideas so that sentences are clear, it points out titles, quotes, and other key parts of language—punctuation is important!

Originally, punctuation was only a tool for speech, not for writing. Writers developed it so that people would know when to pause, stop, or make other expressions when they were speaking. It wasn’t part of literature because most people didn’t even have access to printed work. But, nowadays, since everyone reads, and printed literature is available for everyone, we use punctuation in writing so that sentences read in a similar way to how we speak. Knowing how, when, and why to use punctuation is now a standard part of writing in English.

2. Examples of Punctuation

Punctuation is a part of every sentence and many other words in written language. You probably know most types. Some different parts of punctuation are underlined here:

THESE ARE CAPITAL LETTERS.

A period ends this sentence.

Here’s a comma, but have you seen a question mark?

Exclamation points are exciting!

“These are quotation marks” I said.

3. Types of Punctuation

There are a lot of types of punctuation, and each has its own purpose and rules. Here are the key types that we use all of the time:

a. Capitalization

Capitalization is when you use the capital form of a letter (A vs. a). The first letter of a sentence is ALWAYS capitalized, whether it’s one letter, like I went or A dog, or the first letter of a word, like The. Besides at the start of a sentence, we use capitalization for proper nouns, like places, people’s names, titles, and brand-named things. In dialogue, capitalization usually means the speaker is shouting.

The fox, named Mr. Brown, was fast. “RUN MR. FOX!” shouted the squirrel.

b. End marks

End marks are the types of punctuation that come at the end of a sentence. Every sentence has one (and only one), but the type depends on the tone of the sentence.

Period

A period (.) means a stop, and it only ever goes at the end of a sentence. Truly, any sentence can end with a period (unless it is a question), but that doesn’t always mean it is the best mark. However, a period is the standard end mark for a sentence:

• The fox was orange and white.
• He was a skilled runner.

Exclamation Mark

An exclamation mark (!) adds strong feelings like joy or fear to a sentence. “To exclaim” is to say something with excitement, and that’s just what an exclamation mark does—it exclaims! Since they add excitement, it’s also important not to overuse them. Here’s an example:

• The fox was faster than the wind!

Like this sentence, an exclamation mark can put emphasis on the meaning of the sentence as a whole. Here, it makes us aware that the fox really runs fast, and that seems important.

Question Mark

A question mark (?) is used at the end of every question. It is only ever used to show that a sentence is a question.

• How fast was the fox?

Ellipsis

An ellipsis (…) (plural ellipses) is a “to be continued” moment at the end of a sentence, like this:

• The fox waited…

But, an ellipsis is special because it can also be used inside the sentence, usually to put emphasis on what is coming next. When you see an ellipsis, it’s usually a sign that the next word or sentence that follows it will be important. Read these two sentences:

• Now, the only thing the fox could do was run.
  ***
• Now, there was only one thing the fox could do…run.

As you can see, the ellipsis in the second sentence makes it a little more exciting than the first. It helps to build up some tension for the reader, instead of giving all of the information at one time.

c. Comma

A comma (,) tells the reader when to pause in a sentence. Most importantly, commas help make things clear in a sentence.

They can separate ideas or events:

• The fox ran, and then he drank some water.

We also use them for listing things:

• One, two, three, four, and five.

A lot of sentences need commas—they’re one of the most used punctuation marks. But, commas are also misused all of the time. When you are using a comma, remember it means “pause,” so try reading your sentence out loud to see if you are pausing at the right time. For example, if you read this sentence aloud:

• The fox, ran and then, he drank some water.

You can hear that the pauses come at the wrong times in this sentence. So, that means we need to move the commas:

• The fox ran, and then, he drank some water.

Or,

• The fox ran, and then he drank some water.

A good general rule to remember is that when you list more than two things, you probably have to use a comma, like this:

• The fox was fast, sneaky, and quiet in the forest. CORRECT
• The fox was fast, sneaky and quiet in the forest. CORRECT

• The fox was fast sneaky and quiet in the forest. INCORRECT
• The fox was fast, sneaky, and quiet, in the forest. INCORRECT

Sometimes, whether or not to use a comma is up to the author and his style. The first two sentences are correct—using one or two commas is up to the writer. The third sentence, without a comma, and the last, with too many commas, are incorrect. With two things or less, you don’t need a comma, like this:

• The fox was fast and sneaky in the forest. CORRECT
• The fox was fast, and sneaky in the forest. INCORRECT

d. Apostrophe

An apostrophe (’) does two important things.

First, we use it to show possession:

• “The fox’s coat was orange.”

Second, we use it for contractions, like turning “cannot” into “can’t” or “you are” into “you’re.”

The biggest mistake people make with apostrophes is using them to create plurals—this is WRONG. For example, “dogs” means more than one dog, but “dog’s” shows something that belongs to the dog.

e. Quotations

Quotations (“”) are used for lots of things, but probably the most important way we use quotations is to “quote” someone’s exact words:

• Witnesses say that they heard the fox yell “I like pancakes!”

Or,

• The newspaper article stated, “a fox’s main source of food is pancakes.”

Likewise, they show that a character is speaking (dialogue):

• “I like pancakes,” said the fox.

Quotations can also show that the author is using a slang or unusual word:

• The fox didn’t know what a “fork” was.

We also use quotations for titles of poems, articles, song names, and brand names of things, like Shakespeare’s “Sonnet 18” and a the burger “Big Mac.”

e. Colons and Semi-colons

Colon

A colon (:) says that the writer is about to give a list:

• The fox liked three things: pancakes, syrup, and butter.

A colon may also separate two sentences, where the second sentence gives more information about the first:
The fox was great at hiding: a human had never seen him.

Semicolon

A semicolon (;) can connect two independent clauses that are related to each other:

• The fox liked pancakes; he ate them every day for breakfast.

A semicolon can be combined with a transition, like “but,” to connect two related sentences:

• The fox liked pancakes; but he couldn’t eat them without syrup and butter.

A semicolon can also separate items on a list that might be confusing:
Lisbon, Portugal; Barcelona, Spain; Venice, Italy; Paris, France; and Berlin, Germany are all popular places to visit in Europe.

f. Parentheses

Parentheses ( ) hold additional information that authors want to use as an aside, like here:

• The fox loved pancakes (he ate them every morning), and he had a great recipe for them.

The important information is that the fox loves pancakes and has a good recipe. But, the author also wants to make a side note to the readers that he eats them every morning—this emphasizes how much the fox likes pancakes, while also giving the reader more information.

Or, you can use parentheses to clarify something, like this:

• The fox paid a lot of money for good maple syrup ($50 per bottle).

Here, the writer wants to say that the syrup is expensive, but the reader might not know how much money is a lot. Putting the price inside the parentheses shows that $50 is what the author means by “a lot of money.”

Furthermore, you can also see in these sentences that: a. if the information inside parentheses comes at the end of a sentence, the end mark goes outside the parentheses; and b. that commas usually come after parentheses.

4. How to Use (and Not Use) Punctuation

In a sentence, punctuation can be as important as the words you use! It’s an essential and key part of every single sentence. Imagine a note from a girl to her boyfriend:

Example A Dear Jack, I’m sorry I love you. From Jill

Example B Dear Jack, I’m sorry, I love you. From Jill

Example C Dear Jack, I’m sorry. I love you. From Jill

Letter A has a different meaning than Letters B and C. Letter A has a negative meaning; expressing that Jill regrets being in love with Jack. In Letters B and C, however, Jill expresses an apology to Jack, and then tells him she loves him. So, you can see how much a simple comma can affect a sentence’s meaning.

When we are speaking every day, it’s easy to change our voice and emphasize different words so that our meaning is clear. But in writing, you need to mark the places where those changes should happen. Here are three sentences that are similar to the “Grandma” comic above that will show you why:

Without Proper Punctuation

• Do you want to eat Sally?
• I want to eat Sally.
• Let’s eat Sally!

With Proper Punctuation

• Do you want to eat, Sally?
• I want to eat, Sally.
• Let’s eat, Sally!

Like you can see in all of the examples above, forgetting to use punctuation or using the wrong marks at the wrong time can make a sentence confusing or even completely change it’s meaning. Here, a comma makes the difference between eating Sally and eating with Sally!

Punctuation Meaning | Definition

Punctuation is the name of the marks used in writing. They are very essential signs to understand a sentence in correct way. They represent the expression and feeling in a sentence.

Need For Punctuation

Punctuation is used to bring clarity and meaning to writing.

Use of Capital Letters

A capital letter is used at the beginning of a sentence.

Examples

• The bear in the zoo was a big one.
• Cycling is a good form of exercise.
• His favorite pastime is reading mystery stories.

A capital letter is used with proper nouns.

Examples

• On Saturday morning we have Inter School Soccer Match.
• Roger is a good tennis player.
• Mother Teresa was born in Skopje, Macedonia on Monday, August 27, 1910.

A capital letter is used with adjectives that are derived from proper nouns.

Examples

• Most tombs of the Mughal era were inspired by Persian architecture.
• We had dinner at a Chinese restaurant.
• David Copperfield is my favourite Dickensian character.

The pronoun “I” is always written in capital.

Example

My parents say I spend too much time surfing the Internet. I think it’s a great way to gather information.

In titles, the first letter of each main word is capitalized.

Examples

• Buckingham palace is the home to the Queen of England.
• He has a degree in Nuclear Physics from Cambridge University.

Punctuation Marks

Punctuation marks are symbols that help us to organize and structure sentences. The term punctuation is derived from a Latin term punctum. It means the correct use of points or stops in writing.

The character below lists some punctuation mark and a few rules.

[A] Capital Letter

Uses

• Starts a sentence
• Indicates proper noun
• Emphasizes certain words

Example Sentences

• All I want is a pastry.
• You can call me Ronnie.
• I want it Today!

. Full Stop

A full stop marks the end of a sentence. While reading a sentence we need to pause after a full stop. Full stops end sentences that are not questions or exclamations. A full stop is used at the end of every telling sentence.

Example Sentence

• This is an Elephant.
• Ann is an excellent teacher.
• Canada is fascinating country.

A full stop is also used at the end of an abbreviated word or between the letters of an abbreviated word. We DO NOT use a full stop with abbreviations formed from the first capital letters. For example: BBC, USA and MA

Examples

• Co.
• etc.
• e.g.
• i.e.
• no.

? Question Mark

A question mark is needed after a direct question. The question can be a short word or a whole sentence.

Uses

• Question marks end sentences that are questions.

Example Sentence

• Is this your assignment?

! Exclamation Mark or Sign

An exclamation mark is used after a strong interjection and after strong imperative sentences which mark certain direct commands.

Uses

• Exclamation marks end a sentence that is an exclamation.

Example Sentence

• Don’t pick that!

” “ Quotation or Speech Marks

Double quotation marks enclose quotations. It marks a direct speech.

Uses

• Quotation marks enclose direct speech – it can be double or single.
• Quotation marks are used at the beginning and end of a phrase to show that it is being written exactly as it was originally said or written.
• Commas and periods are always placed immediately before the closing quotation mark.

Example Sentence

• “How are you?”, she asked me.

, Comma

A comma is used to organize thoughts into logical groups. It indicates a much shorter pause than a full stop. It separates the different parts of a sentence or names in a list.

Uses

• A comma places a pause between clauses within a sentence.
• It separates items in a list.
• It separate adjectives in a series.

Example Sentences

• We were late, although it didn’t matter.
• You will need eggs, butter, salt and cheese.
• I wore a red-coloured, long and frilly skirt.

‘ ‘ Single Quotation Marks

Uses

• It completely encloses clauses inserted in a sentence.
• Mark speech from words denoting who said that.

Example Sentences

• We were , though we had rushed to get there, late for the film.
  ‘Thank you ,’ I said.

– Hyphen

Uses

• Hyphen connects elements of certain words.

Examples

• North-East
• Fair-weather friend
• X-factor

: Colon

Uses

• Introduces lists (including examples)
• Introduces summaries
• Introduces (direct) quotations
• Introduces a second clause that expands or illustrates the meaning of the first

Example Sentences

• We learned the following at the camp: rock-climbing, canoeing and rafting.
• During the salsa class we were told: dance salsa on any beat or across the beat.
• My instructor always says: “bend those knees.”
• The snow hardened: it turned into ice.

; Semicolon

A semicolon represents a pause greater than a comma. Semicolon is used to separate the independent clauses of a compound sentence. Such clauses are NOT joined by a coordinating conjunction (and, but, or nor, for, so, yet).

In separating the two clauses of a compound sentence, the semicolon is slightly stronger than a comma, but weaker than a period. Remember that the clause before the semicolon and the clause after the semicolon should be complete on their own; we should be able to replace the semicolon with a period  and get two grammatically correct and complete sentences.

Uses

• Semicolon separates two closely linked clauses and shows that there is a link between them.
• It separate items in a complex list.

Example Sentences

• On Tuesday, the tram was late; the bus was early.
• You can go by and aeroplane, train and a taxi; channel tunnel train, coach, then a short walk; or aeroplane and car.

‘ Apostrophe of Possession

Uses

• Denotes the ownership of something

Example Sentences

• This is Betsy’s scarf.
• These are Peter’s books.

‘ Apostrophe of Contraction

Uses

• Shows the omission of a letter(s) when two (or occasionally more) words are contracted

Example Sentences

• Don’t walk on the grass.
• She’d’ve told us. (double contraction is used in spoken English only)

. . . Ellipsis

Uses

• Ellipsis shows the omission of words.
• It also indicates a pause.

Example Sentences

• The teacher moaned , “Look at this floor … a mess… this class.”
• Louis said: ‘I think I locked the door… no, hang on … did I?’

( ) Brackets

Uses

• Brackets set apart a word or phrase added to a sentence to give some additional information.

Example

• The necklace (which had been in my family for years) was stolen.

— Dash

Uses

• Indicates additional information, with more emphasis than a comma.
• Indicates a pause, especially for effect at the end of a sentence.
• Contains extra information (used instead of brackets).

Example Sentences

• She is an author – and a very good one too.
• We all know what to expect – the best.
• You solved that sum – and I don’t know how – before anybody else.

Punctuation (or sometimes interpunction) is the use of spacing, conventional signs (called punctuation marks), and certain typographical devices as aids to the understanding and correct reading of written text, whether read silently or aloud.^[1] Another description is, «It is the practice, action, or system of inserting points or other small marks into texts in order to aid interpretation; division of text into sentences, clauses, etc., by means of such marks.»^[2]

In written English, punctuation is vital to disambiguate the meaning of sentences. For example: «woman, without her man, is nothing» (emphasizing the importance of men to women), and «woman: without her, man is nothing» (emphasizing the importance of women to men) have very different meanings; as do «eats shoots and leaves» (which means the subject consumes plant growths) and «eats, shoots, and leaves» (which means the subject eats first, then fires a weapon, and then leaves the scene).^[3] The sharp differences in meaning are produced by the simple differences in punctuation within the example pairs, especially the latter.

The rules of punctuation vary with language, location, register, and time and are constantly evolving. Certain aspects of punctuation are stylistic and are thus the author’s (or editor’s) choice, or tachygraphic (shorthand) language forms, such as those used in online chat and text messages.

History[edit]

The first writing systems were either logographic or syllabic; for example, Chinese and Mayan script, which do not necessarily require punctuation, especially spacing. This is because the entire morpheme or word is typically clustered within a single glyph, so spacing does not help as much to distinguish where one word ends and the other starts. Disambiguation and emphasis can easily be communicated without punctuation by employing a separate written form distinct from the spoken form of the language that uses slightly different phraseology. Even today, written English differs subtly from spoken English because not all emphasis and disambiguation is possible to convey in print, even with punctuation.

Ancient Chinese classical texts were transmitted without punctuation. However, many Warring States period bamboo texts contain the symbols ⟨└⟩ and ⟨▄⟩ indicating the end of a chapter and full stop, respectively.^[4] By the Song dynasty, addition of punctuation to texts by scholars to aid comprehension became common.^[5]

The earliest alphabetic writing – Phoenician, Hebrew, and others of the same family – had no capitalization, no spaces, no vowels (see abjad) and few punctuation marks. This worked as long as the subject matter was restricted to a limited range of topics (for example, writing used for recording business transactions). Punctuation is historically an aid to reading aloud.

The oldest known document using punctuation is the Mesha Stele (9th century BC). This employs points between the words and horizontal strokes between the sense section as punctuation.^{[6][further explanation needed]}

Western Antiquity[edit]

Most texts were still written in scriptura continua, that is without any separation between words. However, the Greeks were sporadically using punctuation marks consisting of vertically arranged dots—usually two (dicolon) or three (tricolon)—in around the 5th century BC as an aid in the oral delivery of texts. Greek playwrights such as Euripides and Aristophanes used symbols to distinguish the ends of phrases in written drama: this essentially helped the play’s cast to know when to pause. After 200 BC, the Greeks used Aristophanes of Byzantium’s system (called théseis) of a single dot (punctus) placed at varying heights to mark up speeches at rhetorical divisions:

• hypostigmḗ – a low punctus on the baseline to mark off a komma (unit smaller than a clause);
• stigmḕ mésē – a punctus at midheight to mark off a clause (kōlon); and
• stigmḕ teleía – a high punctus to mark off a sentence (periodos).^[7]

In addition, the Greeks used the paragraphos (or gamma) to mark the beginning of sentences, marginal diples to mark quotations, and a koronis to indicate the end of major sections.

The Romans (c. 1st century BC) also occasionally used symbols to indicate pauses, but the Greek théseis—under the name distinctiones^[8]—prevailed by the 4th century AD as reported by Aelius Donatus and Isidore of Seville (7th century). Also, texts were sometimes laid out per capitula, where every sentence had its own separate line. Diples were used, but by the late period these often degenerated into comma-shaped marks.

Medieval[edit]

Punctuation developed dramatically when large numbers of copies of the Bible started to be produced. These were designed to be read aloud, so the copyists began to introduce a range of marks to aid the reader, including indentation, various punctuation marks (diple, paragraphos, simplex ductus), and an early version of initial capitals (litterae notabiliores). Jerome and his colleagues, who made a translation of the Bible into Latin, the Vulgate (c. AD 400), employed a layout system based on established practices for teaching the speeches of Demosthenes and Cicero. Under his layout per cola et commata every sense-unit was indented and given its own line. This layout was solely used for biblical manuscripts during the 5th–9th centuries but was abandoned in favor of punctuation.

In the 7th–8th centuries Irish and Anglo-Saxon scribes, whose native languages were not derived from Latin, added more visual cues to render texts more intelligible. Irish scribes introduced the practice of word separation.^[10] Likewise, insular scribes adopted the distinctiones system while adapting it for minuscule script (so as to be more prominent) by using not differing height but rather a differing number of marks—aligned horizontally (or sometimes triangularly)—to signify a pause’s value: one mark for a minor pause, two for a medium one, and three for a major. Most common were the punctus, a comma-shaped mark, and a 7-shaped mark (comma positura), often used in combination. The same marks could be used in the margin to mark off quotations.

In the late 8th century a different system emerged in France under the Carolingian dynasty. Originally indicating how the voice should be modulated when chanting the liturgy, the positurae migrated into any text meant to be read aloud, and then to all manuscripts. Positurae first reached England in the late 10th century, probably during the Benedictine reform movement, but was not adopted until after the Norman conquest. The original positurae were the punctus, punctus elevatus,^[11] punctus versus, and punctus interrogativus, but a fifth symbol, the punctus flexus, was added in the 10th century to indicate a pause of a value between the punctus and punctus elevatus. In the late 11th/early 12th century the punctus versus disappeared and was taken over by the simple punctus (now with two distinct values).^[12]

The late Middle Ages saw the addition of the virgula suspensiva (slash or slash with a midpoint dot) which was often used in conjunction with the punctus for different types of pauses. Direct quotations were marked with marginal diples, as in Antiquity, but from at least the 12th century scribes also began entering diples (sometimes double) within the column of text.

Printing-press era[edit]

The amount of printed material and its readership began to increase after the invention of moveable type in Europe in the 1450s. Luthers German bible translation was one of the first mass printed works, he used only virgule, full stop and less than 1% question marks as punctuation. The focus of punctuation still was rhetorical, to aid reading aloud.^[13] As explained by writer and editor Lynne Truss, «The rise of printing in the 14th and 15th centuries meant that a standard system of punctuation was urgently required.»^[14] Printed books, whose letters were uniform, could be read much more rapidly than manuscripts. Rapid reading, or reading aloud, did not allow time to analyze sentence structures. This increased speed led to the greater use and finally standardization of punctuation, which showed the relationships of words with each other: where one sentence ends and another begins, for example.

The introduction of a standard system of punctuation has also been attributed to the Venetian printers Aldus Manutius and his grandson. They have been credited with popularizing the practice of ending sentences with the colon or full stop (period), inventing the semicolon, making occasional use of parentheses, and creating the modern comma by lowering the virgule. By 1566, Aldus Manutius the Younger was able to state that the main object of punctuation was the clarification of syntax.^[15]

By the 19th century, punctuation in the western world had evolved «to classify the marks hierarchically, in terms of weight».^[16] Cecil Hartley’s poem identifies their relative values:

The stop point out, with truth, the time of pause
A sentence doth require at ev’ry clause.
At ev’ry comma, stop while one you count;
At semicolon, two is the amount;
A colon doth require the time of three;
The period four, as learned men agree.^[17]

The use of punctuation was not standardised until after the invention of printing. According to the 1885 edition of The American Printer, the importance of punctuation was noted in various sayings by children such as

With a semi-colon and a comma added, it reads as follows:

Charles the First walked and talked;
Half an hour after, his head was cut off.^[18]

In a 19th-century manual of typography, Thomas MacKellar writes:

Shortly after the invention of printing, the necessity of stops or pauses in sentences for the guidance of the reader produced the colon and full point. In process of time, the comma was added, which was then merely a perpendicular line, proportioned to the body of the letter. These three points were the only ones used until the close of the fifteenth century, when Aldo Manuccio gave a better shape to the comma, and added the semicolon; the comma denoting the shortest pause, the semicolon next, then the colon, and the full point terminating the sentence. The marks of interrogation and admiration were introduced many years after.^[19]

Typewriters and electronic communication[edit]

The introduction of electrical telegraphy with a limited set of transmission codes^[20] and typewriters with a limited set of keys influenced punctuation subtly. For example, curved quotes and apostrophes were all collapsed into two characters (‘ and «). The hyphen, minus sign, and dashes of various widths have been collapsed into a single character (-), sometimes repeated to represent a long dash. The spaces of different widths available to professional typesetters were generally replaced by a single full-character width space, with typefaces monospaced. In some cases a typewriter keyboard didn’t include an exclamation point (!) but this was constructed by the overstrike of an apostrophe and a period; the original Morse code did not have an exclamation point.

These simplifications have been carried forward into digital writing, with teleprinters and the ASCII character set essentially supporting the same characters as typewriters. Treatment of whitespace in HTML discouraged the practice (in English prose) of putting two full spaces after a full stop, since a single or double space would appear the same on the screen. (Some style guides now discourage double spaces, and some electronic writing tools, including Wikipedia’s software, automatically collapse double spaces to single.) The full traditional set of typesetting tools became available with the advent of desktop publishing and more sophisticated word processors. Despite the widespread adoption of character sets like Unicode that support the punctuation of traditional typesetting, writing forms like text messages tend to use the simplified ASCII style of punctuation, with the addition of new non-text characters like emoji. Informal text speak tends to drop punctuation when not needed, including some ways that would be considered errors in more formal writing.

In the computer era, punctuation characters were recycled for use in programming languages and URLs. Due to its use in email and Twitter handles, the at sign (@) has gone from an obscure character mostly used by sellers of bulk commodities (10 pounds @$2.00 per pound), to a very common character in common use for both technical routing and an abbreviation for «at». The tilde (~), in moveable type only used in combination with vowels, for mechanical reasons ended up as a separate key on mechanical typewriters, and like @ it has been put to completely new uses.

In English[edit]

There are two major styles of punctuation in English: British or American. These two styles differ mainly in the way in which they handle quotation marks, particularly in conjunction with other punctuation marks. In British English, punctuation marks such as full stops and commas are placed inside the quotation mark only if they are part of what is being quoted, and placed outside the closing quotation mark if part of the containing sentence. In American English, however, such punctuation is generally placed inside the closing quotation mark regardless. This rule varies for other punctuation marks; for example, American English follows the British English rule when it comes to semicolons, colons, question marks, and exclamation points.^{[21][further explanation needed]} The serial comma is used much more often in the United States than in England.

Other languages[edit]

Other languages of Europe use much the same punctuation as English. The similarity is so strong that the few variations may confuse a native English reader. Quotation marks are particularly variable across European languages. For example, in French and Russian, quotes would appear as: «Je suis fatigué.» (in French, each «double punctuation», as the guillemet, requires a non-breaking space; in Russian it does not).

In French of France and Belgium, the signs : ; ? and ! are always preceded by a thin non-breaking space. In Canadian French, this is only the case for :.^[22][23]

In Greek, the question mark is written as the English semicolon, while the functions of the colon and semicolon are performed by a raised point ⟨·⟩, known as the ano teleia (άνω τελεία).

In Georgian, three dots, ⟨჻⟩, were formerly used as a sentence or paragraph divider. It is still sometimes used in calligraphy.

Spanish and Asturian (both of them Romance languages used in Spain) use an inverted question mark ⟨¿⟩ at the beginning of a question and the normal question mark at the end, as well as an inverted exclamation mark ⟨¡⟩ at the beginning of an exclamation and the normal exclamation mark at the end.^[24]

Armenian uses several punctuation marks of its own. The full stop is represented by a colon, and vice versa; the exclamation mark is represented by a diagonal similar to a tilde ⟨~⟩, while the question mark ⟨՞⟩ resembles an unclosed circle placed after the last vowel of the word.

Arabic, Urdu, and Persian—written from right to left—use a reversed question mark: ⟨؟⟩, and a reversed comma: ⟨،⟩. This is a modern innovation; pre-modern Arabic did not use punctuation. Hebrew, which is also written from right to left, uses the same characters as in English, ⟨,⟩ and ⟨?⟩.^[25]

Originally, Sanskrit had no punctuation. In the 17th century, Sanskrit and Marathi, both written using Devanagari, started using the vertical bar ⟨।⟩ to end a line of prose and double vertical bars ⟨॥⟩ in verse.

Punctuation was not used in Chinese, Japanese, Korean and Vietnamese Chu Nom writing until the adoption of punctuation from the West in the late 19th and early 20th century. In unpunctuated texts, the grammatical structure of sentences in classical writing is inferred from context.^[26] Most punctuation marks in modern Chinese, Japanese, and Korean have similar functions to their English counterparts; however, they often look different and have different customary rules.

In the Indian subcontinent, ⟨:-⟩ is sometimes used in place of colon or after a subheading. Its origin is unclear, but could be a remnant of the British Raj. Another punctuation common in the Indian Subcontinent for writing monetary amounts is the use of ⟨/-⟩ or ⟨/=⟩ after the number. For example, Rs. 20/- or Rs. 20/= implies 20 rupees whole.

Thai, Khmer, Lao and Burmese did not use punctuation until the adoption of punctuation from the West in the 20th century. Blank spaces are more frequent than full stops or commas.

Novel punctuation marks[edit]

Interrobang[edit]

In 1962, American advertising executive Martin K. Speckter proposed the interrobang (‽), a combination of the question mark and exclamation point, to mark rhetorical questions or questions stated in a tone of disbelief. Although the new punctuation mark was widely discussed in the 1960s, it failed to achieve widespread use.^[27]

«Love point» and similar marks[edit]

In 1966, the French author Hervé Bazin proposed a series of six innovative punctuation marks in his book Plumons l’Oiseau («Let’s pluck the bird», 1966).^[28] These were:^[29]

«Question comma», «exclamation comma»[edit]

An international patent application was filed, and published in 1992 under World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) number WO9219458,^[30] for two new punctuation marks: the «question comma» and the «exclamation comma». The question comma has a comma instead of the dot at the bottom of a question mark, while the exclamation comma has a comma in place of the point at the bottom of an exclamation mark. These were intended for use as question and exclamation marks within a sentence, a function for which normal question and exclamation marks can also be used, but which may be considered obsolescent. The patent application entered into the national phase only in Canada. It was advertised as lapsing in Australia on 27 January 1994^[31] and in Canada on 6 November 1995.^[32]
