Not Futhark runes?
At least one school of thought holds that ogham is a variant of elder Futhark, so, yeah, kinda.

It was the pheonician (read : caananite) system for counting cattle. Flip your A upside down. Hang your B on it's contiguous spine. Now, g and c are funny......originally, it was abgd, not abcd - but c and g both stand in for camels (through gimel/camel..sound it out.....) - also transported. The c is just the hump, the g is hump and neck (and may have indicated sex). They're old pictograms.
So, sure, our alphabet is well developed, a well developed cargo manifest for a livestock transport operation.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
