Magellanican is written in a native script (Mag: Tinulyeyat Telyuq) which is an alphabet derived from an earlier featural abugida. The Latin script was introduced in the 18th Century so as to more easily use imported printing machinery. The Tinulyeyat Telyuq has undergone a resurgence in use since the introduction of Unicode into modern information technology. The current situation is one of digraphia with the domain of application for each script still not fully defined.
Magellanican is written in a native script (Mag: Tinulyeyat Telyuq) which is an alphabet derived from an earlier featural abugida. 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 Tinulyeyat Ūrampu (Latin Alphabet) being primarily used for scientific and technical publications and the Tinulyeyat Telyuq being mostly used for literature, religion and art. Outside these domains for more mundane matters, the Latin Alphabet is used by the upper echelons of society and the Magellanic Alphabet by the lower.
