Do you know of any language that even has a space before a comma?

I know French requires a space before any punctuation consisting of more than 
one drawing (! ? ; and :  all have two drawings), which means a comma is 
excluded from that and is placed right next to the previous word, without 
space.

In English, that is so much so that it comes *inside* the closing quote of a 
quotation, even if the quotation did not have a comma there.
