'In this database you can search on over 900 Danish runic inscriptions. Although the database itself is in Danish, there are English translations of the inscriptions'.

You miss the point that Latin alphabet is not Anglo Saxon, it came from Rome, the black fella Itie boongs who spoke Latin.

mis-selling. mis-spelling?
Where did they appropriate the Qld Government's writing?
What opposition are you meaning?
Who says that K'Gari is misspelt (or mis-pronounced do you mean)?

The Aboriginal word was carried verbally and still is. The Qld Government's writing is writing that's done by the Qld Government. You knew that.

Very stupid, Bbwianesque attempt at analogy.  Runes were not Danish but Germanic and Celtic, used from Ireland to the Baltics.

Runic Danish

Old East Norse is in Sweden called Runic Swedish and in Denmark Runic Danish, but until the 12th century, the dialect was the same in the two countries. The dialects are called runic because the main body of text appears in the runic alphabet. Unlike Proto-Norse, which was written with the Elder Futhark alphabet, Old Norse was written with the Younger Futhark alphabet, which only had 16 letters. Due to the limited number of runes, some runes were used for a range of phonemes, such as the rune for the vowel u which was also used for the vowels o, ø and y, and the rune for i which was also used for e.

A change that separated Old East Norse (Runic Swedish/Danish) from Old West Norse was the change of the diphthong æi (Old West Norse ei) to the monophthong e, as in stæin to sten. This is reflected in runic inscriptions where the older read stain and the later stin. There was also a change of au as in dauðr into ø as in døðr. This change is shown in runic inscriptions as a change from tauþr into tuþr. Moreover, the øy (Old West Norse ey) diphthong changed into ø as well, as in the Old Norse word for "island".

As usual it appears that Soren is mistaken.  Tsk, tsk, tsk...

Most Danes were once illiterate too, once, Soren.  I don't hold it against you but you continually demonstrate it here, and now, all the time.  Being illiterate can be helped, just watch SBS-tv for the reading, writing show and they give you the helpline phone number at the end of every episode. What a shame that you often refuse to read what is presented to you.  Tsk, tsk, tsk...

That aphasia of yours is not improving, Bbwian.

Every population across the face of the Earth was illiterate in the distant past. EVEN the Irish, Bbwian.  Tsk, tsk 


But then the more curious and enterprising chappies invented all sorts of things. Some things that are more relevant to the environment than others. I can see how looking at kangaroos, the wheel and the cart are not things that naturally leap to mind. Other things, like writing, however, are not environmentally determined or relevant. So Aborigines never had the need for writing because their lives were far to confined and limited. Fine. Primitive, incurious, hemmed in by their own rigid, inescapable shackles of 'traditional' culture (VERY CONSERVATIVE, NO?? FORTY THOUSAND YEARS OF UNYIELDING CONSERVATISM. Positively Ur-Right Wing).

But then they get the boon of civilisation and SOME of them use these gifts to repudiate those who have given them these gifts. And the perpetually rancorous and resentful, like you, egg them on.
