What is the alphabet in viking?

Runes are the Viking alphabet. A rune is a symbol that stands for a sound. The runic alphabet was called the Futhark, and there were various versions of it. The original Elder Futhark had 24 runes. In Iceland, it was reduced down to 16-18, while the anglo-saxons expanded it up to 32 runes. A google search of "Futhark" will show what they looked like. The Futhark was called "Futhark" because of the first six runes. Fehu, Uruz, Thurisaz, Ansuz, Raido, Kenaz. F-U-Th-A-R-K, just as the roman "alphabet" is called that because of the first two letters.

There where several runic "alphabets" so to say, back then. The most popular ones where:FutharkLangkvistrunesKortkvistrunesDalrunesOlder Futhark is what people regard as "old norse", however, the runes cannot be translated to latin letters. This is beucase the runes where not letters, they where runes. And thus every rune was made a specific sound rather than a letter.I could have made an attempt if I knew your name.
