Ogham is an Early Medieval alphabet used primarily to write the early Irish language, and later the Old Irish language. It was also used much less frequently to record the Pictish language in what is now Scotland. There are roughly 400 surviving orthodox inscriptions on stone monuments throughout Ireland and western Britain, the bulk of which are in southern areas of the Irish province of Munster. The Munster counties of Cork and Kerry contain 60% of all Irish ogham stones. The largest number outside Ireland are in Pembrokeshire, Wales.
