Since cardinal means 'primary', or 'serving as an essential component', they would be north, south, east and west.
Cardinal directions refer to the four point of a compass north, south, east, and west. The actual word Cardinal is from the Latin word cardinalis which mean "principal, chief, essential," the root of cardinalis is from cardo (generally cardinis) meaning "that on which something turns or depends; pole of the sky,".
