When the language was initially discovered by Europeans the Greek alphabet was used in its transcription, but later studies preferred to use the Latin script, which is still used today.

=====''Hypocoristics''=====
Hypocoristics or nicknames are common in Is Burunking. There are no clear rules for their formation, but they are generally shortened versions of childhood or adult names. They also rarely include long vowels or diphthongs.
The shortened form may be purely a section of a longer name, commonly taken from the middle of the name so that it overlaps separate elements, though frequently the choice is merely a matter of preference. E.g. ''Izizoi → Zizo, Zizoi, Izi, Endazibya → Dazi, Endaz''. Frequently, such names will undergo anomalous changes, such as voicing of plosives or altering sounds, e.g. ''Hekyuto → Gyudo, Azambeng → Zambu, Zama, Jambe, Shambe''.
Reduplication of a syllable is especially common in childhood names, in female names and in pet names but is often considered demeaning in the wrong context. Any part of the name may be reduplicated and the syllable may be repeated exactly or undergo ablaut. E.g. ''Beuto → Bebe, Bebo; Oijing  → Jiji, Jiju, Lujito → Lulu, Lula''. Names or syllables beginning with a vowel will often reduplicate the consonant at the beginning of the word, e.g. ''Oijing → Joji, Odaazang → Doda''.
