Navajo has a whole system to spell and write. The current standardized one was developed in by John Harrington, Robert Young, William Morgan, and Oliver LaFarge in 1939. The first system and word list was started in 1849. There were many systems between then and 1939. Before that, as with most the world's languages for most of human history, there was not written language.
There are eight vowels and each can be nasalized so that makes 16.
There are 31 consonants.
It has regular, high, rising and falling tones that are marked.
Here is a sample:
