=== Popular revival === [[File:2013.09.09 Balaton (3).JPG|thumb|Welcome sign in Latin and in Old Hungarian script for the town of [[Vonyarcvashegy]], Hungary]] Beginning with Adorján Magyar in 1915, the script has been promulgated as a means for writing modern Hungarian. These groups approached the question of representation of the vowels of modern Hungarian in different ways. Adorján Magyar made use of characters to distinguish ''a''/''á'' and ''e''/''é'' but did not distinguish the other vowels by length. A school led by Sándor Forrai from 1974 onward did, however, distinguish ''i''/''í'', ''o''/''ó'', ''ö''/''ő'', ''u''/''ú'', and ''ü''/''ű''. The revival has become part of a significant ideological nationalist subculture present not only in Hungary (largely centered in Budapest), but also amongst the [[Hungarian diaspora]], particularly in the United States and Canada.<ref name="Max">Maxwell, Alexander (2004).
