It would be nice to not name your language after another language. (Yes I know it's a script, that doesn't change my point). I came here expecting something else.
Jackson Crawford's youtube channel is very helpful academic source.
For those that don't know, Futhark is comes from the first 6 letters of the runic alphabet (F, U, Þ, A, R, K)
Yeah, when naming your language, it's important to keep mind the expectations of people seeing headlines about articles about your language on blog aggregation sites :^)
Now I'm thinking about "Smalltalk by Example" and "Slang by Example"
Same here, I was very confused for a bit.
