 Hungarian Runes (Székely Rovásírás)
Hungarian runes (Székely Rovásírás) are are thought to have descended from the Turkic script (Kök Turki) used in Central Asia, though some scholars believe the Hungarian runes pre-date the Turkic script.
Hungarian Runes were usually written on sticks in boustrophedon style (alternating direction right to left then left to right).
The runes include separate letters for all the phonemes of Hungarian and are in this respect better suited to written Hungarian than the Latin alphabet.

Hungarian rovás letters and numbers proceed from right to left rather than from left to right, as was the case with most ancient writings.
Later when the ancestors of the Hungarians started to write on the bark of the birch-tree and on wash-leather, they developed variations in their letters which were more useful for that kind of writing.
Other people who were in contact with the Hungarians took over the carving of numbers and the expression of carving (rovás) from the Hungarians, and this was done not lately, nor all of a sudden, but in the most ancient of times through thousands of years.

The runes might be read from left to right or from right to left, even on the same artifact.
Runes were probably bought to Britain in the 5th century by the Angles, Saxons, Jutes and Frisians (collectively known as the Anglo-Saxons), and were used until about the 11th century.
