If I am not mistaken, I think that the latin language is written from right to left, instead of the traditional way of from left to right. In the event I am wrong about that, do you know of any contries where the people write from right to left, instead of from left to right?

Do some written languages of some other countries require people to always write from the right to the left, instead of always from the left to the right?

I have noticed that your question is different from the additional details you have typed.
>>Is there a country where the people write from left to right, instead of from right to left?
Yes, there is a lot. One obvious example is English.

One country that writes that way is China. Japan also writes in the same way, but that is the traditional way. During this days, they write from left to right, depending on what they write (ordinary stuff like quizzes or journal entries). They write from right to left in newspapers and books.
That is what I know.

Arabic is written from the right to the left.
Therefore most Muslim countries write from right to left.
Urdu is also written from the right to the left.

Chinese is traditionally written from right to left.Why?It was because the scholarly class wanted to exclude the peasants from learning.The rough peasants won't be able to write with the brush without smirching the whole paper;that is if you are right-handed!Left-handed no problem.
