The [[Bodzvokhan language]] is written with the Vukht script, an abjad, as well as with the Cyrillic alphabet, from which Vukht borrowed several letters. Vukht also uses ligatures to write some geminate consonants, those are not used when [ǝ], which is usually unwritten in Vukht, separates 2 identical consonants.

However, in Vukht, preconsonantal '''a''' is marked by a diacritic under the following consonant instead, so '''ab''' is {{bodz-orth-big|form=ab}}, '''ach''' is {{bodz-orth-big|form=ach}}, '''ad''' is {{bodz-orth-big|form=ad}}, etc.
 
Aside from the rarely-used final form it shares with '''a''', '''ǝ''' is unwritten in Vukht. However, Vukht uses ligatures to write some geminate consonants, but not when an unwritten '''ǝ''' separates 2 identical consonants, so for instance, '''hh''' is spelt {{bodz-orth-big|form=hh}} but '''hǝh''' is spelt {{bodz-orth-big|form=hǝh}}. Furthermore, '''r''' is spelt {{bodz-orth-big|form=ä}} only if it directly follows a stop, so if an unwritten '''ǝ''' separates a stop from '''r''', {{bodz-orth-big|form=ä}} is not used and '''r''' is instead spelt with {{bodz-orth-big|form=gh}}, {{bodz-orth-big|form=gq}} or {{bodz-orth-big|form=r}} depending on its etymology, for instance '''pr''' is spelt {{bodz-orth-big|form=pr}} but '''pǝr''' is spelt {{bodz-orth-big|form=pgh}}, {{bodz-orth-big|form=pgq}} or {{bodz-orth-big|form=pǝr}}. The former sequence /ɢʁ/ is spelt {{bodz-orth-big|form=gqr}} but is now pronounced /ʁː/ and romanized '''rr'''.

The Bodzvokhan language is written with the Vukht script, an abjad, as well as with the Cyrillic alphabet, from which Vukht borrowed several letters.

Vowels

Most of Bodzvokhan's vowels are written with their own letters:

Vukht Romanization Cyrillization IPA Notes
a a, ǝ а, ы a, ǝ, ɨ Only appears word-finally, rarely used. Stands for both a and ǝ, the correct pronunciation is deduced from vowel harmony and context. ǝ is sometimes pronounced [ɨ] in Russian loanwords by bilingual speakers.
e e э ɛ Not distinguished from y in Vukht.
i i и i Not distinguished from ay in Vukht.
o o о ɔ Not distinguished from aw in Vukht.
ö ö, yo ё œ, jɔ Borrowed from Cyrillic.
u u у u Not distinguished from w in Vukht.
ü ü, yu ю y Borrowed from Cyrillic.
ya ya я ja, æ Borrowed from Cyrillic. Stands for [æ] in English loanwords.
ye ye е jɛ Borrowed from Cyrillic.

However, in Vukht, preconsonantal a is marked by a diacritic under the following consonant instead, so ab is ab, ach is ach, ad is ad, etc.

Aside from the rarely-used final form it shares with a, ǝ is unwritten in Vukht. However, Vukht uses ligatures to write some geminate consonants, but not when an unwritten ǝ separates 2 identical consonants, so for instance, hh is spelt hh but hǝh is spelt hǝh. Furthermore, r is spelt ä only if it directly follows a stop, so if an unwritten ǝ separates a stop from r, ä is not used and r is instead spelt with gh, gq or r depending on its etymology, for instance pr is spelt pr but pǝr is spelt pgh, pgq or pǝr. The former sequence /ɢʁ/ is spelt gqr but is now pronounced /ʁː/ and romanized rr.
