Question from Jackie

Do they read the same direction that we do?


ANSWER: Ok, not sure if I'm reading this correctly but if you mean like reading books and magazines, then yes, they read in the same direction as we do. I know in some languages like Hebrew, which reads from right to left, and Mandarin, which reads vertically, but Bahasa Indonesia reads left to right just like at home. Since Indonesia is a former Dutch colony, they also have the same alphabet as we do but the letters are pronounced differently.

If you meant in terms of direction, then, they use North, South, East, and West as well.
