Okay, so this is the alphabet used by the Dwarves in The Hobbit written by J.R.R. Tolkien. This is actually based off of the Anglo-Saxon Alphabet. The Anglo-Saxons were a group who attacked the Britons (the people who lived in pre-Medieval Britain). They were fought off by the real King Arthur (Although, he may not be who you think he was). I believe, but don't quote me on this, that they were actually a group of Romans, because the Romans originally had Britain, then the people known as the Britons came and took it, then the Anglo-Saxons (I think they were Romans) fought to get it back, but didn't until the Dark Ages came. Anyways, that is the Runic Alphabet, as written by J.R.R. Tolkien, one of the greatest writers ever.
Have you ever had someone read the runes for you? Or tried it yourself? It is awesome.
ReplyDeleteWhat do you mean? Like, trying to read the runes as in trying to speak Anglo-Saxon? I'm not sure about that....Seems interesting.
