Language Information
Danish runes are the runic inscriptions and runic alphabet (the Younger Futhark) used in Denmark and southern Sweden during the Viking Age, from about the 9th to the 11th century A.D. They are no longer used.
The best known are the two Jelling Stones in Jutland, raised in the 10th century by King Gorm the Old and his son Harald Bluetooth; the larger stone records Denmark's conversion to Christianity and is sometimes called Denmark's "birth certificate." The Danish version of the Younger Futhark had 16 runes.
