Magellanican is written in a native script (Mag: Uljejatsi Teljuq) which is an alphabet derived from an earlier featural abugida. It is written from left to right.

The Latin script was introduced in the 18th Century in order to take advantage of imported printing presses from Europe. The current situation is one of digraphia with the ~~Tinuljejat~~ Ūravaq (Latin Alphabet) being primarily used for scientific, engineering and technical publications and the ~~Tinuljejat~~ Teljuq being mostly used for literature, religion and art.
