The English language was first written in the Anglo-Saxon futhorc runic alphabet, in use from the 5th century. This alphabet was brought to what is now England, along with the proto-form of the language itself, by Anglo-Saxon settlers. Very few examples of this form of written Old English have survived, these being mostly short inscriptions or fragments. Quoting: observation [ link to en.wikipedia.org] Anglo-Saxon runesFuthorc (or fuþorc), a runic alphabet used by the Anglo-Saxons, was descended from the Elder Futhark of 24 runes and contained between 26 and 33 characters. It was used probably from the fifth century onward, for recording Old English and Old Frisian. Quoting: observation [ link to en.wikipedia.org] Elder FutharkThe Elder Futhark (or Elder Fuþark, Older Futhark, Old Futhark) is the oldest form of the runic alphabet, used by Germanic tribes for Northwest Germanic and Migration period Germanic dialects of the 2nd to 8th centuries for inscriptions on artifacts such as jewellery, amulets, tools, weapons and runestones. Quoting: observation [ link to en.wikipedia.org] Runic alphabetsThe runic alphabets are a set of related alphabets using letters known as runes to write various Germanic languages before the adoption of the Latin alphabet and for specialized purposes thereafter. Quoting: observationThe runes developed centuries after the Old Italic alphabets from which they are historically derived Quoting: observation [ link to en.wikipedia.org] Old Italic scriptOld Italic refers to several now extinct alphabet systems used on the Italian Peninsula in ancient times for various Indo-European languages (predominantly Italic) and non-Indo-European (e.g. Etruscan) languages. The alphabets derive from the Euboean Greek Cumaean alphabet, used at Ischia and Cumae in the Bay of Naples in the eighth century BC. Quoting: observation [ link to en.wikipedia.org] Indo-European languagesSuggestions of similarities between Indian and European languages began to be made by European visitors to India in the 16th century. In 1583 Thomas Stephens, an English Jesuit missionary in Goa, noted similarities between Indian languages, specifically Konkani, and Greek and Latin. These observations were included in a letter to his brother which was not published until the twentieth century Quoting: observation [ link to en.wikipedia.org] that does more than allow us to understand what we want to tell each other it feeling like it`s use (action) causes more than we assumed to the point where the remote is indicating it`s prime motive was never communication to each other it was desire to form the invisible into visibleis the phrase and visa versais the other phrase Quoting: aether
