I think all West Asian scripts are is right-to-left, then top-to-bottom. I think Japanese/Chinese scripts can be top-to-bottom, then right-to-left, but may vary. I don't think there's are any bottom-to-top?
- masklinn 5y ago> I don't think there's are any bottom-to-top? There are philipino and indonesian scripts which ars written bottom-to-top, though they are read left to right. Ogham is bottom to to though. I think there’s also a script which is read and written based on cardinal directions, but i can’t find it. I was expecting it to be indigenous australian (as several IA people use absolute directions as a matter of course).
- h0l0cube 5y agoThat's really fascinating. Thanks for sharing
- Asraelite 5y agoWhat exactly due you mean by "West Asian"? Georgian and Armenian are left-to-right.
