Conversation with linguist Sándor Klára on the old Hungarian Székely writing known as ’Rovás írás’. Sándor Klára offers some concrete information on this traditional form of writing which she refers to as simply ’Székely writing’. The writing has squared-off characters and was preserved the longest (until the mid 17th century) amongst Transylvania’s Székely people. The oldest examples are from the end of the 13th–14th centuries. This writing form has seen a revival of interest since 1990. By Grozdits Károly.
