 Not Futhark runes?

At least one school of thought holds that ogham is a variant of elder Futhark, so, yeah, kinda.

Looking at the ogham, I don't think so.  I only see a couple that resemble runes, and they represent completely different sounds. Sad Probably a separate development from Futhark.

The only fully legitimate writing system in the world is rongorongo.    The only other writing systems that make a decent pretense of being legitimate is Harappan script and linear A.   It use to be thought that the Mayans also made a decent effort, but that has since been proven false.

The only legit writing system is the stick language of the tribe of the Nintins of the shellve swamp from around 950101 BCE

Bow Down Bow Down Bow Down Nothing makes a writing system more indecipherable than the fact that it contains no meaning.   Therefore the stick language must be the ultimate writing system.

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!
