Writing system
Kanembu is written with the Latin script and Ajami alphabets.

In 2009, the Chadian government standardized both Latin and Ajami scripts for all indigenous languages of the country, including Kanembu, in what is known as Chadian National Alphabet.

The letters $\langleâ, ê, î, ô, û\rangle$ are also used. The orthography also uses the digraphs $\langlech, mb, nd, ng, nj\rangle$.

The Ajami script has been used for Kanembu, since the time of Dunama Dabbalemi, and still today in the Tarjumo language or in religious works.
