During the Latinisation period in the Soviet Union, a Latin-based script was developed for the Kumandin language. It was used from 1932 to 1939, when teaching in Kumandin was stopped.[4]
In recent years, the Kumandin language is being written again. The orthography below was created in 2005, when it was published for use by children.
