Sobre a família


Linear B script was the writing system of the Mycenaean civilization of the Bronze Age Mediterranean. The syllabic script was used to write Mycenaean Greek from c. 1500 to c. 1200 BCE. It was deciphered by Michael Ventris in 1952, and so the script has provided invaluable insights into the Mycenaean culture and its interaction with contemporary Mediterranean civilizations. Linear C is yet another undeciphered script from the Bronze Age. It was used from 1550 BCE to 1050 BCE on the island of Cyprus and a little in the Levant. Unlike most of the Bronze Age civilizations, the island flourished after the collapse. The language the script corresponds to is completely unknown. It can be speculated that it represents the Keftiu (“Minoan”) language or the indigenous Cypriot language, Eteocypriot. However, neither has been proven as of now. Linear C, as the name implies, is related to Linear A and B. Specifically, Linear C is descendent from Linear A, making it a sister script of Linear B. The script was later replaced by the Cypriot syllabary for Greek and Eteocypriot. Due to the lack of inscriptions, it is incredibly hard to figure out the language it was representing. There are only around 2.500 inscriptions found, unlike Mycenaean Greek which had around 30.000 examples. Here are the letters that we believe are represented.

Ongunkan Cyprus Writings

Sobre Runic World Tamgacı

As my interest in rune writings grew, it became inevitable for me to make my own fonts. It was time to put all these years of hard work into action. This foundry, named Runic World Tamgacı, was prepared as a platform for the distribution of font studies developed on Old European Runic inscriptions, Old Asian Runic inscriptions, Old Hungarian Runic inscriptions, Runic inscriptions found in Africa and Arabian geography, and Italic inscriptions such as Etruscan and Iberian. These fonts, which have high aesthetic design and a full list of letters, will serve as a wide source especially for academic studies and amateur researchers, including derivative letters. It will also please enthusiasts interested in this field. The inventory of the foundry will be constantly updated and expanded with new additions to the fonts of these mysterious ancient inscriptions. These Runic studies were made from scratch by looking at the relevant sources.
