Yngre futhark (av dem inledande runorna: ᚠᚢᚦᚬᚱᚴ, fuþark),[a] även kallad typiga- alternativt nordiska runraden, bland flera namn, fanns ett fornnordiskt skriftsystem inom form från en runrad (futhark) såsom var inom bruk beneath vikingatiden samt nordisk tidig medeltid (ca –).

Olika varianter tillsammans med olika utformning av runtecknen förekommer, var de numeriskt värde viktigaste inom Norden kallas långkvistrunor samt kortkvistrunor, vilka främst skiljer sig inom antalet fogade kvistar. ett extrem variant är stavlösa runor var huvudstavarna existerar bortrationaliserade, varpå skriften består av streck och punkter med olika lutning, längd och höjdplacering. En sen variant existerar stungna runor – runor med insatt prick – som anger runors separata ljudvärde.

Runes

Ancient Germanic letter

For other uses, see Runes (disambiguation).

Runes are the letters in a set of related alphabets, known as runic rows, runic alphabets or futharks (also, see futhark vs runic alphabet), native to the Germanic peoples of the 1st millennium and beyond. Runes were used to write Germanic languages (with some exceptions) before they adopted the Latin alphabet, and for specialised purposes thereafter. In addition to representing a sound value (a phoneme), runes can be used to represent the concepts after which they are named (ideographs). Scholars refer to instances of the latter as Begriffsrunen ('concept runes'). The Scandinavian variants are also known as fuþark, or futhark; this name is derived from the first six letters of the script, ⟨ᚠ⟩, ⟨ᚢ⟩, ⟨ᚦ⟩, ⟨ᚨ⟩/⟨ᚬ⟩, ⟨ᚱ⟩, and ⟨ᚲ⟩/⟨ᚴ⟩, corresponding to the Latin letters ⟨f⟩, ⟨u⟩, ⟨þ⟩/⟨th⟩, ⟨a⟩, ⟨r⟩, and ⟨k⟩. The Anglo-Saxon variant is known as futhorc, or fuþorc, due to changes in Old English of the sounds represented by the fourth letter, ⟨ᚨ⟩/⟨ᚩ⟩.

Runology is the academic study of the runic alphabets, runic inscriptions, runestones, and their history. Runology forms a specialised

Runor is the fantastic new online runic research tool published by the Swedish National Heritage Board and deserves a little walkthrough. Visit here:

One of the biggest advantages of this website is that the main feature is a map where all runic inscriptions for a given search are displayed. It also allows users to explore runic inscriptions geographically by clicking on the marker points on the map. Finally it is possible to easily find runic inscriptions based on their oldest known location or current location and get a sense of the distribution of various inscriptions.

The main options for searching are to search the runic text, by signum (inscription ID), or discovery location of inscriptions. The text/information returned is drawn from the Scandinavian Runic-text Database which the downloadable Rundata also uses. The main information for each inscription displayed includes the signum, location, runic transliteration, standardized Old West Norse or East Norse (or Proto-Norse, Old Gutnish, etc.), and an English translation. However, while the Runor interface is available in both English and Swedish, the text from the database is in Swedish, so search results end up b
