~~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''; 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).

{{PAGENAME}} is written in the Talmic cursive script, which is written from left to right. The letters ''j'' /j/ and ''v'' /v/ are not used except in [[Netagin]] and other 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. The native spelling also uses {{angbr|''ll, nn, ŋŋ, rr''}}.
