What is Rovas Script?
๐ฒ๐ณ ๐ณ ๐ณข๐ณ๐ณฎ๐ณ๐ณค๐ณ๐ณข๐ณ๐ณค
Szekely Hungarian Rovas is a writing system that is still in use today among Hungarian speaking population worldwide thanks to the Szekely nation that played a major role preserving this cultural heritage throughout the centuries. This script is originated and evolved from the Steppean and Proto-Rovas Families that were being used by various nations and tribes in Eastern Europe and Minor Asia.
The name “Rovas” means carving (mainly on materials like wood but also on stone and metal). It also means taking notes. There is also another term, “Old Hungarian” in use for this script that may not be appropriate as it supposed to refer to something that is extinct which is definitely not the case here. Read on to find out why.

Rovas is quite popular today and many people would love to use it on their computers and phones but the technical circumstances are not fully covered as of today. Without compatibility with digital environment, Rovas may not survive in the long term. In order to preserve Rovas Script the following key elements are essential:
1 Keylayout for desktop and mobile
2 Various typefaces with Rovas Script extension: I create both new fonts with Rovas as well as Rovas extension for existing fonts including system fonts such as Roboto Sans and San Fransisco.ย
3 Encouraging users ย to create designs, art and branding with Rovas.
