Hiragana and katakana as well as Japanese written in a mix of kanji and kana, Chinese written in hanzi (but not Korean written in han'geul), Thai, Lao, Khmer, for starters. Tibetan separates syllables with little dots (tsheg) but in a sample I saw appeared to use, in addition, inter-word space. Ethiopic sometimes uses "colon"s rather than spaces between words, but that amounts to pretty much the same thing (i.e. using an orthographic device to separate words). But that still leaves at least J. Ch. Th. L. Kh. I imagine Yi also may not use inter-word punctuation or spacing. mu'omi'e filip.
