i don't mind Latin script, it is incredibly close to runic script, but the idea that my own language was originally in Futhorc, a Runic script, makes me kind of long for it to be the more prevalent one.

it must be pretty comfy to have your language match your script.

here now, let's get some of the sibling scripts to the latin one we have. these are ones that could possibly be used today if history had only gone differently.

here is Gothic, which was a bit of a mixture of runic and Greek, like the Cyrillic of the east Germanic folk.
