Runes (futhark) were used in Sweden from around 400 AD until late middle ages. There are still plenty of runic inscriptions written in Proto-Norse, Runic Swedish, or Old Swedish language..

  • The inscriptions written in elder futhark (2nd to 8th c.) were generally written in Proto-Norse.
  • The inscriptions written in younger futhark (9th to 11th c.) were written in Runic Swedish.
  • Medieval runes (12th to 15th c.) date to a period when Old Swedish language was used.

Note! On this site Sweden means today's Sweden.
