Ireland’s ancient alphabet.
Ogham is an early writing system associated mainly with Ireland and western Britain. It is best known from inscriptions carved on the edges of standing stones, with letters formed from groups of straight strokes placed beside or across a central stem line.
The core alphabet contains 20 letters arranged in four groups, known as aicmí. In a vertical inscription, the text is traditionally read from bottom to top.
