Almost no native American tribes had a written language before contact with Europeans; a few developed an invented writing system after exposure to newspapers, books, letters and other documents.

The Crow did not develop their own writing until they were taught to read and write English in schools, notably at the St Xavier Mission which was founded in 1887 near the Bighorn River by Father Pierpaolo Prando, a Jesuit missionary. Then the educated Crow people wrote in the English alphabet.

The Crows speak a language called Apsáalooka which survives and is spoken today by over 4,000 people.

Historically they also used the Plains Sign Language to communicate with other tribes, calling this bapa'tua.
