I should mention that I believe Hungarian runes had use into fairly recent times by peasants (in certain parts of the country and/or what is now no longer part of the country), albeit not as tools of general literacy but rather of tally/record keeping, and even for contract-like agreements. (For that latter, the agreement would be carved onto a stick, and the stick would subsequently be split [as much as possible in the middle, so as to leave parts of the runes on both halves], one to be kept by each parties. And no, I'm not sure about the finer points of how this worked.)
