Badaga has five vowel qualities, /ieaou/, where each of them may be long or short, and until the 1930s they were contrastively half and fully retroflexed, for a total of 30 vowel phonemes.[a] Current speakers only distinguish retroflection of a few vowels.[3]
Several attempts have been made at constructing an orthography based on English, Kannada and Tamil. The earliest printed book using Kannada script was a Christian work, "Anga Kartagibba Yesu Kristana Olleya Suddiya Pustaka" by Basel Mission Press of Mangaluru in 1890.[5]

Badaga is well studied and several Badaga-English Dictionaries have been produced since the latter part of the nineteenth century.[6]
Proverbs, etc.Edit
A collection of proverbs and other traditional sayings of the Badaga has been collated and edited by Paul Hockings.[7] It is the result of the work of many people, collecting material over many decades.
