	Natively Rendej uses a syllabary composed of 51 consonant-vowel pairs as well as a gemination sign, which is referred to as Rendej ~~Haffûr~~. The syllabary does not distinguish between final consonants and open syllables (final consonants use the vowel of the proceeding sign, for example dux is written as TU-XU), nor does it distinguish voiced, unvoiced and prenasalized consonants, it also merges rhotic and non-rhotic vowels, as well as u and û and e and a.
