Ojibwe is an indigenous language of North America from the Algonquian language family. Ojibwe is one of the largest Native American languages north of Mexico in terms of number of speakers and is characterized by a series of dialects, some of which differ significantly; the dialects of Ojibwe are spoken in Canada from southwestern Quebec, through Ontario and parts of Saskatchewan, with outlying communities in Alberta and British Columbia, in the United States from Michigan through Wisconsin and Minnesota, with a number of communities in North Dakota and Montana, as well as migrant groups in Kansas and Oklahoma. The absence of linguistic or political unity among Ojibwe-speaking groups is associated with the relative autonomy of the regional dialects of Ojibwe. There is no single dialect, considered the most prestigious or most prominent, no standard writing system used to represent all dialects. Ojibwe dialects have been written in numerous ways over a period of several centuries, with the development of different written traditions reflecting a range of influences from the orthographic practices of other languages.

Writing systems associated with particular dialects have been developed by adapting the Latin script the English or French orthographies. A used Roman character-based writing system is the double vowel system, attributed to Charles Fiero; the double vowel system is gaining popularity among language teachers in the United States and Canada because of its ease of use. A syllabic writing system not related to English or French writing is used by some Ojibwe speakers in northern Ontario and Manitoba. Development of the original form of Canadian Aboriginal syllabics is credited to missionary James Evans around 1840; the Great Lakes Algonquian syllabics are based on French orthography with letters organized into syllables. It was used by speakers of Fox and Winnebago, but there is indirect evidence of use by speakers of Chippewa. Not much is known regarding Ojibwe "hieroglyphics". Similar to Mi'kmaq hieroglyphic writing, they are found as petroglyphs, on story-hides, on Midewiwin wiigwaasabakoon. In treaty negotiations with the British, the treaty-signing chiefs would mark an "X" for their signature and use the Wiigwaasabak character representing their doodem.

Today, Ojibwe artists incorporate motifs found in the Wiigwaasabak to instill "Native Pride."There are said to be several Ojibwe elders who still know the meanings of many of the symbols, but as their content is considered sacred little information about them has been revealed. The different systems used to write Ojibwe are distinguished by their representation of key features of the Ojibwe inventory of sounds. Differences include: the representation of vowel length, the representation of nasal vowels, the representation of fortis and lenis consonants; the double vowel orthography is an adaptation of the linguistically oriented system found in publications such as Leonard Bloomfield's Eastern Ojibwa. Its name arises from the use of doubled vowel symbols to represent long vowels that are paired with corresponding short vowels. Development of the double vowel system is attributed to Charles Fiero. At a conference held to discuss the development of a common Ojibwe orthography, Ojibwe language educators agreed that the double vowel system was a preferred choice but recognized that other systems were used and preferred in some locations.

The double vowel system is favored among language teachers in the United States and Canada and is taught in a program for Ojibwe language teachers. The double vowel orthography is used to write several dialects of Ojibwe spoken in the circum-Great Lakes area. Significant publications in Chippewa include a used dictionary and a collection of texts; the same system with minor differences is used for several publications in the Ottawa and Eastern Ojibwe dialects. One of the goals underlying the double vowel orthography is promoting standardization of Ojibwe writing so that language learners are able to read and write in a consistent way. By comparison, folk phonetic spelling approaches to writing Ottawa based on less systematic adaptations of written English or French are more variable and idiosyncratic and do not always make consistent use of alphabetic letters. Letters of the English alphabet substitute for specialized phonetic symbols, in conjunction with orthographic conventions unique to Ojibwe.

The system embodies two principles: alphabetic letters from the English alphabet are used to write Ojibwe but with Ojibwe sound values. Accurate pronunciation thus cannot be learned without consulting a fluent speaker; the long vowels /iː, oː, aː/ are paired with the short vowels /i, o, a/, are written with double symbols ⟨ii, oo, aa⟩ that correspond to the single symbols used for the short vowels ⟨i, o, a⟩. The long vowel /eː/ does not have a corresponding short vowel, is written with a single ⟨e⟩; the short vowels are: ⟨i, o, a⟩. The long vowels are: ⟨ii, oo, aa, e⟩; the short vowel represented. The long vowel ⟨aa⟩ has values centering on.
