The alphabet of the Olonetz language consists of 27 letters. Palatalization is indicated by the <'> sign .
In 1998, a linguistic body was established in the Republic of Karelia to develop the vocabulary and spelling of the Karelian and Wepsi languages. Since 2007, this has recommended replacing the previously standard letter <ü> with a <y>. In some current works, however, the <ü> is still used.
Linguistic particularities
Differences to the actual Karelian are in
- a number of terms from the Wepsischen ,
- in a number of terms from West Baltic languages (rarely in the other Karelian language family),
- a stronger influence of Russian ,
- in pronunciation (more voiced consonants than in actual Karelian)
