Before 1917 textbooks were printed in various dialects of the Komi-Permyak language (Cyrillic alphabet). The literary language started to develope in the 1920's (on the basis of the so-called Molodcov alphabet, common with Komi-Zyrian). In the beginning of the 1930's the Komi-Permyak language was switched into the Latin, and at the end of the decade - Cyrillic alphabet. The literary language is based on the Kudymkar-In'va dialect.
