Old Hungarian script - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (418 words)
Hungarian Runes ("(Székely) rovásírás" in Hungarian; also called "rovás") is a type of runic writing system used by the Magyars (mostly by Székely Magyars) prior to AD 1000.
Hungarian Runes are not related to Germanic Runes, but derive from the Orkhon or Turkic Runic script.
The runic script was the first mentioned in the 13th-century chronicle of Simon Kézai, where he stated that the Székely combined with the Vlachs (Romanians) and used their script.
Wikipedia: Hungarian language (991 words)
Hungarian is generally believed to a member of the Ugric languages, a sub-group of the Finno-Ugric languages, which are a branch of the Uralic languages.
Hungarian language has been claimed to be closely related to Hunnish, as Hungarian legends and histories show the close ties between the two peoples, and both the Huns and the modern day Hunnish people (Székely) lived in Hungary.
Hungarian distinguishes between long and short vowels, where the long vowels are written with accents, and between long consonants and short consonants, where the long consonants are written double.
