Siglas poveiras
The siglas poveiras (also known as marcas) is a proto-writing system that has been used by the local community of Póvoa de Varzim in Portugal for many generations. The siglas were primarily used as a signature for family coat-of-arms in order to mark family belongings. The symbols were normally written using a razor on wood, but painting on boats and beach sheds was also common.
The purpose of the siglas was to record history and thus has been ascribed as Póvoa's "writing system". However, the siglas do not record sounds or specific words, and so are not true writing. The reason for their prominence has been ascertained to be due to a common ignorance of the Latin alphabet among the local population.
==Types of Siglas Poveiras==
Lixa Filgueiras argued that there are two types of symbols, distinguished by their use: the marcas (marks) and siglas. The marks served as a way to register ownership and thus were commonly present. The siglas, on the other hand, were used for magical and religious concerns.〔Lixa Filgueiras, Octávio (1965). ''Àcêrca das Siglas Poveiras''. IV Colóquio Portuense de Arqueologia.〕 The siglas, being symbols of a mythical character, were thus rarer both in their ancient and newer forms.
