The Carpathian Basin Rovas script
Carpathian Basin Rovas 
The Carpathian Basin Rovas script, or Kárpát-medencei rovás in
Hungarian, was used in the Carpathian Basin between about the 7th and 11th
centuries. Most of the inscriptions are in Hungarian, but some were in Onogur,
As-Alan, Slavic or Eurasian Avar.
Carpathian Basin Rovas is thought to be a descendent of the Proto-Rovas
script, which was used to the east of the Aral Sea between about the 1st century
AD and 567, when the tribes who were using it, the Avars and Ogurs, started to
move into the Carpathian Basin. That process took until about 670 AD, after
which the Proto-Rovas script became the Carpathian Basin Rovas and the Khazarian
Rovas scripts. The Proto-Rovas script was perhaps a descendent of the Aramaic
script.
Since 2009 efforts have been made to revive the use of this alphabet. Some
letters were added to it to represent sounds in modern Hungarian that weren't
used historically.
