The first comprehensive writing system for West Carpathian was created by Jan Meyer in the 1878, which was based on Czech orthograpy. He also wrote some linguistic works about West Carpathian, using his writing system to write words and sentences in Carpathian. His written language was based on westernmost dialects and he wanted to represent one sound with one letter, exept for a few digraphs, like "ch" for [x] or [h], "th" for [θ] and "dh" for [ð̞]. In the early XXth century Jan Meyer's work was revised and new writing systems were proposed, in one of which long vowels were represented with a macron above a vowel letter instead of acute. | The first comprehensive writing system for West Carpathian was created by Jan Meyer in the 1878, which was based on Czech orthograpy.

Up until Jan Meyer written Carpathian was used solely in religious texts, but after his works the language slowly started appearing in newspapers and literature. In 1961 Bohuslav Raudi (native name Eiki) created a new standard writing for both West and East Carpathian, based on previuos systems. He attemted to unify different dialects into a Carpathian language and his writing system became standard written West Carpathian. He also retained the "th" digraph as it was in Jan Meyer's system, despite [θ] sound was no longer present in any Carpathian dialect. | Up until Jan Meyer written Carpathian was used solely in religious texts, but after his works the language slowly started appearing in newspapers and literature.

His daughters Anna and Maria Raudi created a complete West Carpathian-Slovak dictionary in 1989 together with other scholars as well as workbooks for everyone to learn their language. They also wrote dozens of articles about various Carpathian dialects. | ||
