Southern Kurdish alphabet Southern Kurdish alphabet The Kurdish varieties mostly are written in either of two alphabets: a Latin alphabet introduced by Jeladet Ali Bedirkhan in 1932 (Bedirxan alphabet, or Hawar after the Hawar magazine), and an Perso-Arabic-based Sorani alphabet, named for the historical Soran Emirate of the present-day Iraqi Kurdistan. While the Latin script is dominating Kurdish mass media everywhere; the Sorani script is just confined in Iraq and Iran. Two additional alphabets, based on the Armenian and Cyrillic scripts, were once used in Soviet Armenia. Kirmaşanî (Kermashani) is the Southern branch of Kurdish language. Kirmaşanî uses Hawar alphabet with some modifications.
Old Hungarian alphabet Old Hungarian alphabet The Old Hungarian script (, "Rovas script", "Rovash script") is an alphabetic writing system used for writing the Hungarian language. Today Hungarian is predominantly written using the Latin-based Hungarian alphabet, but the Old Hungarian script is still in use in some communities. The term "old" refers to the historical priority of the script compared with the Latin-based one. The Old Hungarian script is a child system of the Old Turkic alphabet. The Hungarians settled the Carpathian Basin in 895. After the establishment of the Christian Hungarian kingdom, the old writing system was partly forced out of use
