Before the Latin alphabet was imposed, Old English was written in runes. The Anglo-Saxon people built upon the ancient runic script of Elder Futhark to create the Anglo-Saxon Futhorc. This native writing system was developed specifically for the English language. Unfortunately, with some small exceptions, it largely fell out of use a thousand years ago. But although our language has changed a lot since then, runes can still be used to write English today. Want to learn how? Then you've come to the right place.
