The ?Rovas? Foundation sent a letter to all parliamentary parties urging them to work together for national unity.
Our ancient writing system is a matter of national importance
Wednesday, January 25, 2012
The letter has been sent to the parliamentary group leaders of Fidesz, MPSz, KDNP, Jobbik, MSZP and LMP, as well as the major Hungarian media outlets both at home and around the world.
In the letter, the head of ?Rovas? Foundation, László Sípos asking the parliamentary parties to support the work of the ?Rovas? Foundation aiming at the conservation, protection and promotion of the ancient Hungarian “Rovas” writing system.
As the first step, ?I would like to formally invite all parties to send delegates to the ‘Képviselő Rovás Kör’ board (still under formation) that will operate as an advisory-advocacy body,? says the author of the letter.
?We believe that the ‘Rovas’ writing system used by Hungarians and their ancestors are the common heritage of Hungarian and universal human culture. Our common goal is to protect and promote the ‘Rovas’ script as a national value and as an intellectual resource?.
The Székely-Hungarian writing system and its modern usage has been demonstrated in the successful city and town sign erection project that covers the entire Carpathian basin; so far, 130 municipalities in 3 countries have joined the town sign erection initiative says the author of the letter.
One of the main priorities of the current development circle is to create a standardized “Rovas” letter set based on printing technology, so that the everyday use of the ?Rovas? script can be expanded. The real breakthrough, however, will be achieved when international technical standardization will be accomplished in close cooperation with the ?Magyar Szabványügyi Testület? (Hungarian Standardization Board). ?To support and promote this initiative we would like to ask the support of the Hungarian public opinion, public figures and public dignitaries,? says László Sípos.
The ?Rovas? Foundation is ready to share its knowledge and experiences with representatives of any field wanting to use our ancient writing system, be it country image promotion campaign, education and culture, tourism and economy. In addition, we are open to new ideas and challenges that help the Székely-Hungarian writing system’s wider acceptance and its dissemination both at home and abroad concludes his letter László Sípos.
