Is Arabic read right to left or left to right? Biblical Hebrew is a dead language and was breathing its last breaths about the same time Jesus was walking the earth. Reading from right to left and top to bottom. Hebrew is read from right to left, just the opposite of English and many modern languages which are read from left to right. The direction in which Arabic was written may be due to the scribe’s position at the time, seated on the floor, hand held at an angle holding a reed dipped in ink. Why are Hebrew and Arabic written from right to left?īecause more people were right-handed than left-handed, the process of carving the rock may have started on the right and proceeded to the left.
