A Chilcotin orthography has been devised by linguists, containing special characters that are not readily reproduceable, hence the writing system is undergoing rapid modification by writers of the language: "Ts^'il?os" - where the first "s" is presented with a circumflex to modify the sound of the vowels that follow, the apostrophe denotes a glottal stop, and where the question mark is presented without the dot and also denotes a glottal stop. The common pronunciation, resulting from the alternate spelling appearing in print, is "SIGH-lows".
