only words no numbers or underscores or dashes c#

Question

I need a regex pattern that accepts words but if the words contains underscore / dashes or number it is not valid so:

Word ---> good
Word1.0 ---> no
word_1 ---> no

"I need" is not the question. Please add a bit own work and show what was wrong with your shot. — Renatas M., Jun 01 '16 at 12:37

@Alex, that thread does not support all words. Only ASCII ones. But this question is very unclear anyway. — Wiktor Stribiżew, Jun 01 '16 at 12:42

Use

\A[\p{L}\p{M}]+\z

In C#:

var result = Regex.IsMatch(input, @"\A[\p{L}\p{M}]+\z");

Details:

\A - start of string (replace with (?![\p{M}\p{L}]) if partial match is required)
[\p{L}\p{M}]+ - 1 or more letters or diacritic characters
\z - the very end of the string.
