Tsek’ehne is spoken in the northern interior of British Columbia, in the area approximately around Williston Lake. There are currently two forms of Roman orthography used for writing Tsek’ehne. They are virtually identical; the only differences are pointed out below in the notes section.

There are examples of the use of Carrier syllabics in the Tsek’ehne nation. Specifically, a tombstone in the McLeod Lake First Nation, which has written on it:

The word spacing on the tombstone is perhaps somewhat irregular, as is the size of the finals: sometimes as tall as the regular syllabics, sometimes very small. The third line, which reads, “ᙐᗮ ᗟᒼᗪᕀ 2,” is certainly “September 2”. The writer also uses many double consonants—especially in the last word—which serve, in a way, to join syllables together. As the language is Carrier, this tombstone indicates that, in the past, Carrier may have served as a literary language for some Tsek’ehne people.
