Konda-Dora is sometimes written in the Telugu and Odia scripts. A unique writing system was developed by Sathupati Prasanna Sree for use with the language, although it is unclear how widespread this system is. Most speakers of Konda have also learned Telugu because of economic pressures to be able to integrate into the larger economy and region.
