"Barat laut, barat daya, timur laut, tenggara."

Translation: Northwest, southwest, northeast, southeast.

Can someone explain to me why these directions have completely different names? I'm super curious. Especially that southeast has its own word.

Used to be a folk of sailors, tenggara is "a strong, dry, hazy, east or southeast wind during the east monsoon...", SEA also called Asia Tenggara. Interesting:)

Does southeast (tenggara) have a special meaning in Indonesian culture?
