Runic alphabet - Overview
The earliest runic inscriptions date from ca. 150, and the alphabet was generally replaced by the Latin alphabet with Christianisation, by ca. 700 in central Europe and by ca. 1400 in Scandinavia. However, the use of runes persisted for specialized purposes, mainly in Scandinavia and in rural Sweden until the early 20th century (used mainly for decoration as Dalecarlian runes and on Runic calendars).
The three best known runic alphabets are:
- the Elder Futhark (ca. 150–800)
- the Anglo-Saxon Futhorc (400–1100)
- the Younger Futhark (800–1910)
The Younger Futhark is further divided into:
- the Danish futhark script
- the Swedish-Norwegian runic script (also: Short-twig or Rök Runes)
- the Hälsinge Runes (staveless runes)
- the latinised Dalecarlian futhark script (ca. 1500–1910)
Middle Bronze Age 19-15th c. BC
- Proto-Canaanite 14th c. BC
- Ugaritic 13th c. BC
- Phoenician 11th c. BC
- Samaritan 6th c. BC
- Aramaic 9th c. BC
- Brāhmī 6th c. BC
- Hebrew 3rd c. BC
- Syriac 2nd c. BC
- Avestan 3th c.
- Arabic 4th c.
- Greek 8th c. BC
- Old Italic 8th c. BC
- Latin 7th c. BC
- Runes 2nd c.
- Gothic 4th c.
- Armenian 405
- Glagolitic 862
- Cyrillic 10th c.
- Iberian
- South Arabian 9th c. BC
The most likely candidates for the origins of runic scripts are the 5th to 1st century BC Northern Italic alphabets, Lepontic, Rhaetic and Venetic, all closely related to each other and themselves descended from the Old Italic alphabet. These scripts bear a remarkable resemblance to the Futhark in many regards.
