Description
This is all four of the historical runic alphabets. The runic alphabets are a set of related alphabets using letters known as runes to write various Germanic languages before the adoption of the Latin alphabet and for specialized purposes thereafter. The Scandinavian variants are also known as futhark (or fuΓΎark, derived from their first six letters of the alphabet: F, U, Γ, A, R, and K); the Anglo-Saxon variant is futhorc (due to sound changes undergone in Old English by the same six letters). Runology is the study of the runic alphabets, runic inscriptions, runestones, and their history. Runology forms a specialized branch of Germanic linguistics.Related content

There more historical runic alphabets in Europe, like the hungarian what I'm studying. Just a fan fact

Runic alphabets are so mind numbingly common that it just pains me to see them.

How ironic. The medieval and historically primitive aspect is what makes people fall in love with it, yet for as common as people come across it, disgusts most.

Hi, splendid work. 
Happy to see there are still a lot who share the interest.
Oh, and by the way, I think the U from the Elder futhark originally looked more like the U from the younger one. But it might be possible that I'm wrong in that. X)

May I ask how some of these are pronounced?

You have some errors, but no need to get picky over it. Looks like a good resource for some folks.

It is hard to find all the runic alphabets side by side anywhere though.

These symbols are so cool. I hope you do more with them.
I have a few of them in a book and I've been meaning to play with them using some seriously huge coit pens.

I use them often in my woodcarvings but I need to invest in a dremel if I make more. If you're going to use them for symbolism, here is a website that will tell you what they are all about.
