Like other modern Talmic languages, {{PAGENAME}} is written in the Talmic cursive script, which is written from left to right. Some letters are not used in modern {{PAGENAME}}, such as the Thensarian letters ''y, θ, δ~~, χ, γ~~''; the letters ''j'' and ''v'' are not used except in loanwords. The letter ''h'' is used for lenition as in Irish. So the {{PAGENAME}} alphabet is usually considered to have 20 letters (''r d z i a f m g t h b s o ŋ p l n e u c'') (digraphs and length diacritics are not counted).

The native orthography is extremely conservative and in part reflects Old {{PAGENAME}} pronunciation. (A more shallow orthography will be used in this article.)
