Which makes me wonder about languages written the other way, such as Arabic. Are right-handed people at a disadvantage because they are in danger of smudging the ink?

I;ve never seen anyone write in Arabic, but the printed stuff I've seen makes me think that you need a calligraphic pen or a brush such as the Japanese and Chinese use to write the broad and tapered strokes. Or is it possible to write that stuff with just a pencil or "single-thickness" pen?
