- The Rune alphabet originated in ancient Germanic tribes and was developed and used later in the Viking age. The shapes and symbols of the Rune alphabet are taken from ancient symbol systems, such as ancient Germanic symbols and the Roman alphabet. However, the Rune alphabet gradually developed unique forms and symbols during the Viking age.
- The Viking Rune alphabet consists of a series of symbols, each representing a specific phoneme or meaning. The most common Viking Rune alphabet is the "Elder Futhark" alphabet of 24 symbols. These symbols are usually engraved on stone, wood, or metal pieces and are used to make runestones, rune sticks, and other objects.
