Oikan is written in a mixed script consisting of [[Ukilen logographs]] (''~~rehie~~'') and [[Astseredontia|Astseredontia letters]] (''~~suenie~~'').

Oikan is written in a mixed script consisting of [[Ukilen logographs]] (''nesieikieve'') and [[Astseredontia|Astseredontia letters]] (''saianikieve'').

There are three types of readings of ''nesieikieve'': ''džesamsaianve'' (native readings), ''iemiesaianve'' (Bapho-Xenic readings), and ''džangieiemiesaianve'' (neo-Baphian readings).

== Dialectal variation ==

There are many dialects of Oikan. Oikan dialects can be divided into two groups: yod-coalescing dialects and yod-preserving dialects. Yod-coalescing dialects are dialects where the sound shift {dj, d͡zj, d͡ʒj}, {sj, ʃj}, {tj, t͡sj, t͡ʃj}, {zj, ʒj} → d͡ʒ, ʃ, t͡ʃ, ʒ has occurred. Yod-preserving dialects are dialects where said sound shift did not occur.
