Is Burunking was originally written in a syllabary called ''hookozui'', mainly carved into wood or, occasionally, stone. | |||
When the language was initially discovered by Europeans the Greek alphabet was used in its transcription, but later studies preferred to use the Latin script, which is still used today. | |||
