Oglang writing systems
Oglang currently uses two unique scripts and Arabic numerals for writing, although the latter is not truely free from cultural influence and not entirely universal. The unique scripts take the form of an alphabet and an abugida. The alphabetic form is based on the phonetics of each phoneme. The image below gives detailed descriptions on the formation of each grapheme.
When using Arabic numbers, identical forms for the consonants and vowels do not matter, since all syllables are written CV with the exception of the prefix marker. (Note: /n/,/nn/ are prefix markers.)
| LNS alphabetic | Consonant | Number | Vowel | LNS alphabetic |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| m | /m/ | 0 | ||
| p | /p/ | 1 | /i/ | i |
| n | /n/ | 2 | /e/ | e |
| t | /t/ | 3 | /a/ | a |
| s | /s/ | 4 | /u/ | u |
| l | /l/ | 5 | /o/ | o |
| j | /j/ | 6 | ||
| k | /k/ | 7 | ||
| w | /w/ | 8 | ||
| h | /h/ | 9 | ||
| ^ | /n/,/nn/ | ^/- | ||
The abugida form comes from the alphabetic form. Rules for vowel diacritics and a full abugida chart are given below.

Auxlang writing systems
For LNS auxlang, thanks to the small phonological inventory and simple syllabic structure, multiple writing systems can be used. The following tables show how various scripts are used to transcribe LNS. The order of the graphemes can be seen on the IPA section of each table. (Note: /n/,/nn/ are prefix markers.)
