what Nations wrote from right to left


what Nations wrote from right to left
Preferred to Prof Saunders school.
Ans.-The Syriac and Phenician Ian
guages were written from right to left
but the Phenicians afterward changed
and wrote from right to left, and left 10
right, altern itely. In the Sixth century,
B. c., the present manner OF writing from
right to left came into general use, aud
since that time has been almost universal
The Chinese and Japanese are exceptions
their books reading from top to bottom.
No doubt hey will soon abandon their
methods for ours. Prouafdes, who was q
teacher of Homer, was the first to intro
duce the present manner of writin z; but,
it was not generally adopted for centuries
after his time Historians differ in re-
gard to the Chinese writing. Some say
that they read from top to bottom of the
page, aud others as the above. We, per
haps have omitted some of the Nations,
and if any one eau give US any infOrma-
ton, we will be glad TO see il in the
CoURIRR. The SCHOOL.
Ed. NorE.-The above answer is cor
rect; but, as further information is asked
for, and the question has excited unusual
interest and investigation, we submit the
=
dialects of the Arabian or Shemelio aces
the Egyptians and modern Abysinuians
follow this mode of writing All the
Medean and Persian inscriptions now
legible are written in this way The
Greeks and Phenieians originally so
wrote, but about the 2nd century the
style was changed so that the first line
read from right to left the succeeding
one from left to right. and so regularly
alternating. This style called Boustroph-
eioH, prevailed until the 9th century when
the modern arrangement succeeded it.
The only moderns who use the "right to-
left" method are the Persians, Hindoos,
Brahmins and Abysinnians.
Apropos of this 1t may be mentioned
that the Egyptian hieroglyphics are ar
ranged in either way all the faces of nae
men and animals being turned toward the
beginning of the line. The MexicaA pie
ture language is arranged in columns,
reading from bottom TO top; and The Chi
nese, TRrtRric and Hemyaritie and some
Egyptian inseri PtiOns are arranged in
columns reading from top to bottom.
