Before the colonization of the native tribes of Syana in 1710, the Syan language was purely oral. European invaders brought with them the latin alphabet, which was adapted by the natives who used the letters which had pronounciations closest to the sounds of their existing language. Over the years this script was refined and eventually standardized when Syana became an independant nation in 1813.
The only punctuation that are used in Syan are commas and full-stops.
