Love is the battery of life....

Hi
As far as ia know the only languages that read and write from right to left are: Hebrew and Arabic (and related languages: e.g: Yedish, and some languages that use arabic characters).  I also know that some ancient langugaes could be read / written either from left to right or from right to left. 
Best reagrds,

Hi

The write to left languages are mostly the Hebrew written letters (Hebrew, Aramaic and so on), and the Arabic written letters (Arabic, Persian, etc.).

Also, archaic Chinese is written from right to left.

There're probably few more languages that I missed, but these are the most common ones.
