Indeed; and I do mention that many languages that use the Arabic and Hebrew
abjads are written right to left. Most if not all of the languages in that
list use a script that is either Hebrew or an Arabic variant; Syriac isn't,
but its script is related to an ancestor of both, and Rohingya's 'official'
script is a con-script based on Arabic.
