For a language written from right to left like the Arabian language there is specific historical reason to follow such as the style of writing, exactly like having reasons to write from left to right in other languages like the English language.

Each language has its own origin,medium, system of writing & it's necessary to have reasons for them.

1.Early writings that were written right to left evolved with carvings on stones

by holding a chilsel on the left hand and a hammer on the right hand enabling

the writer to easily carve from right to left.

It becomes cumbersome,rather imposible to carve out with a chisel & hammer

from left to right.

eg:persian,arabic,urdu etc

2. Regions where the medium was leather,clay,paper,palm leaf etc the hand was

free to flow from left to right /top to bottom with a sharp stylus or pen.
