Writing system

Burushaski is a predominantly spoken, rather than written, language. Occasionally the Urdu adaptation of the Arabic alphabet is used, but no anchored orthography exists. Nasir al-Din Nasir Hunzai has accounting balladry in Burushaski application the Urdu alphabet.

Tibetan sources almanac a Bru-śa accent of the Gilgit valley, which appears to accept been Burushaski. Although Burushaski may already accept been a cogent arcane language, no Bru-śa manuscripts are accepted to accept survived.13

Linguists alive on Burushaski use assorted makeshift transcriptions based on the Latin alphabet, best frequently that by Berger (see below), in their publications.
