Languages and runes.

Runes are symbols that were used for writing Germanic languages during the first millennium AD. What makes this book different from other books on runes is that this book contains a customized runic alphabet for each language that runes were written in, that is based on runic inscriptions in that language, so that when people refer to this book when writing runes, the shape and translation of runes matches how people who spoke that language would have written runes. This book has eleven versions of the Elder Futhark rather than one version for all the languages it was written in because the shape and translation of Elder Futhark runes varied between languages. The information in this book is from academic sources. The rune shapes are based on photos of runic inscriptions. This book covers the runes that were used before 1000 AD. This book has a simple, organized, easy-to-read format. No knowledge of runes is needed to understand it.
