The leid haed nae alphabet till the 1970s when a scholar developit ane for a varsity dissertation. It pruived tae be less nor ideal, an a new alphabet wis developit bi the tribe in the early 2000s. As the revival o the leid haes progressed, it haes been necessar tae fynd wirds for modren objects that didna exist in the auncient leid. These issues are referred tae the elders o the tribe for a decision. Cocopah in Mexico uise a different orthografie designed bi the INALI.
