The New Testament has been published in the Bench language, using an orthography based on the Ethiopian syllabary. Tones are not indicated. Retroflex consonants are indicated by such techniques as using extra symbols from the syllabary (the "nigus s") and forming new symbols, (the addition of an extra arm on the left side for "t").
