Cragimaroa uses the Shavian alphabet (𐑕𐑱𐑝𐑦𐑩𐑯) for its writing system. Each grapheme corresponds to a phoneme or a phonetic modifier, often with dual values depending on context.

==== Stress ====

The orthography of Cragimaroa is relatively straightforward, though slightly more complex than a simple one-to-one phoneme–grapheme correspondence. Each grapheme represents a phoneme, but in regular words, unstressed syllables are written using the same letters that typically denote diphthongs—such as [ɐ̯]—and are pronounced identically, though not as diphthongs. That is, they are realized as [ɐ].

==== Proper names ====

However, in proper names—such as the name Cragimaroa itself (𐑑𐑱𐑨𐑖𐑦𐑥𐑨𐑛𐑷𐑱)—unstressed syllables are pronounced with their full phonemic value. For example, [ä] is not reduced to [ɐ], and therefore it is written with the full grapheme for [ä], not the diphthong marker.

In such words, long vowels typically indicate the stressed syllable. Additionally, there is a general rule that stress falls on the penultimate syllable. However, when a proper name is stressed on the penultimate or final syllable, all other syllables are written using the diphthong grapheme (such as the one used for [ɐ̯]), which in this case does represent the phoneme [ä], albeit in an unstressed form.
