The handedness bias is reflected in the languages of the world. In many Western languages, the word for "right" (as in the direction) is often a synonym for "correct" with connotations of authority and justice: ''recht'' in [[German]], ''droit'' in [[French]], ''derecho'' in [[Spanish]], ''direito'' in [[Portuguese]], and in several [[Slavic]] languages. In many other languages, "right" is associated with skill while "left" is associated with clumsiness: the [[Latin]] term for right-handed is ''dexter'' as in [[dexterity]], ''diestro'' in Spanish and ''destro'' in Italian both mean "right-handed" and "skillful," and the Irish ''deas'' means "right side" and "nice". On the other hand, the French ''gauche'' means "left" and "clumsy", as does the Italian word ''maldestro'' and the Dutch word ''links''. English, Dutch, German, Bulgarian, and Czech all have some variation of the idiom "to have two left feet" (in some languages two left hands), meaning to be clumsy. The word "ambidextrous" reflects this as well: it comes from the Latin "dexter," so it could be translated as "having two right hands."

In some languages "left" is even associated with the concept of evil. The English word ''sinister'', the Italian word ''sinistra'', and the Spanish word ''siniestra'' all come from the Latin word ''sinestra'', which originally meant "left" but often took on the colloquial meaning "unlucky" and in their respective languages all mean both "evil" and "left" (although the latter meaning is archaic in English and somewhat rare in Spanish). The [[Chinese]] adjective meaning "left" (左 or "zuǒ") also means "improper."
