If it's not too much trouble, I'd like to know what "Marblethrone" looks like, since it's my Uplay/Steam username .

I quite like the characters for might. And magic has an inverted 666? Hoho.

Lol, although I mentioned reading from right to left before and AlHazin actually put subtitles in this one, it still feels irresistably natural to read from left to right, doesn't it. I guess, that would take some getting used to if you ever learn to actually read it, like driving in England or something.
Do you sometimes feel awkward when reading from left to right in Latin, AlHazin?

I guess it depends on how much time one spends dealing with different languages. By now I find it easy to read both right-to-left and left-to-right. Top-to-bottom still feels a bit weird though.
Edit: What I did find awkward was reading Might and Magic in Arabic transcript. English words in Arabic just sound so out of place. How do you say "Might and Magic" in Arabic anyway?

Not at all artu, oddly enough I learned to speak in French first, but I learned to read/write in Arabic. For years I spoke French without being able to write it.
I don't remember having ever felt any difficulty with switching between. When I see a text in Arabic my eyes go for the top right automatically and when I see it in Latin I go for the top left.
@Geny: "Quwwa Wa Sihr" I guess, with Q which is not quite a K and H pronounced like in "Hahaha" or "Behind" (or "hum hum"...).

Hebrew is also right to left? Would make sense since they belong to same family tree.

Hebrew is right to left. I didn't know it was bottom to top though.

Quote: "Quwwa Wa Sihr" I guess
That can be Turkish as well, "Kuvvet ve Sihir." We frequently use both words still, although their etymologically Turkish synonyms "Güç ve Büyü" are just as common.

Yeah, since Hebrew and Arabic come from the same source they share quite a few similarities. Being right to left is the simplest of them.
Hebrew is written top to bottom like most (all?) languages. What I meant is Far Eastern languages that are written top-to-bottom and then left-to-right.

I know Japanese can be written this way. I think Chinese as well.

That's what I thought you meant, so you can read Japanese? A passion for the anime and manga?
