Rovas Script Family
|
|
There are at least three known scripts which were used by Hungarians during their history. Their scripts are called Rovas Scripts. The comprehensive view of the Rovas alphabets was introduced first at the end of the twentieth century by the archaeologist-historian G. Vékony. He gave transcriptions of CBR and KR inscriptions by using Rovas alphabets cognate to each other. The close relation of CBR to SHR has been shown by Gy. Németh in 1932. Moreover, according to the archaeologist-historian I. Erdélyi the Khazarian Rovas is related to CBR and SHR.
