Haha, I’m talking about alphabets, if that’s how you wanna put it, but restrained from calling it that because you could easily consider stuff like French or German to be different alphabets due to their unique characters

Guess again, if you understand it better now!

Sadly not, although that was among the last ones! (Removed the line about your answer in the question, because I didn’t realise the Etruscan alphabet was a Runic one! :oops2:)

I don't think Etruscan was Runic, although the Runic alphabets were most likely based on it, or a close cousin of it.

Yes, runes are likely based off either Greek and Etruscan, or maybe neither, or maybe both! :P

I don't think that one is even part of Goop's list of 195 countries as it's a dependency of Denmark. :P
