There are Arabic, Cyrillic and Latin alphabets for Wakhi, but I'm not agree with the latin one, so I've proposed another one that is meant to be used for writing of Wakhi. It is now in a very early stage of development, so some changes may occur to it in the future as the creator see fit. For any questions please use the email link below.
