Thanks - most interesting. So Turkish might be written in Latin characters by Europeans writing what were, basically, phrase books for people who didn’t speak Turkish.  But that’s rather different from native speakers doing so.

Otherwise: Orkhon runes - right to left as far as I know, Arabic - right to left, Uighur - right to left...but Voynichese left to right.
