Many people above said Japanese and Chinese. But this is usually true when Japanese and Chinese are written vertically. Horizontally, they are read from left to right. However, occasionally, like in artworks I've seen, it can be right to left even horizontally.
Other scripts that are right-to-left are Arabic, Hebrew, Aramaic, Divehi, Persian, Urdu, and others.

The Arabic language is written and read from right to left.and so is hebrew. So i guess its a middle eastern thing. Ancient Chinese and japanese are written from top to bottom starting at the right.
Hebrew and Arabic are most proberbly written from right to left because the Egyptian cursive scripts, written right to left, influenced the Arabic cursive scripts and
that in turn influenced Jews in the first millennium to do the same.

Arabic. In Japanese and Chinese, we read from right to left only when we write top to bottom.

Japanese reads from top to bottom and from right to left. And, maybe that means that Chinese and Korean do too (but, I am not 100% sure).

Many Asian cultures do, or used to. Most have switched to left to right.

I believe the Chinese do. The first man in China to develop this system must've been left handed like me!
