The writting system for the Puno Quechua language is not formaly described, however there are some resources that can be mentioned. Linguistic resources for Puno Quechua, as cataloged by Glottolog puno1238, are predominantly from the 1963–1993 period, with limited publications post-2005. These materials offer critical insights into the Puno Quechua language's grammatical framework. Like all Quechua languages, Puno Quechua forms words by sequentially adding suffixes to a root and follows a Subject-Object-Verb (SOV) word order.
There follows a randomly selected sample of five sentences from the corpus.
Uqitapas utaq pukatapas munallanin punchutaqa!
Ama michita utaq allqutapas hayt'apuwankichu.
Kay llamata urquman qatiysiy.
Kay papa muhukunaqa rakinapaqmi.
Sumaqta wayqi panantin hina kausakunchis
The sentences were created by native speakers, whose uploaded the sentences into Common Voice.
