Magellanican is written in a native script (Mag: Tinulkikat Telkuq) 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 Tinulkikat Ūrampu (Latin Alphabet) being primarily used for scientific and technical publications and the Tinulkikat Telkuq being mostly used for literature, religion and art. Outside these domains, for more mundane matters, the Latin Alphabet tends to be used by the upper echelons of society and the Magellanic Alphabet by the lower. | Magellanican is written in a native script (Mag: Tinulkikat Telkuq) which is an alphabet derived from an earlier featural abugida.
