Check out the meaning/s of CODIFY. While it's often used in terms of standardizing a language (i.e., systematically taking an unwritten language and developing specific rules for a written form), or for formulating a system of laws) I've heard the term used in broader contexts in which the speaker meant, essentially, "to express in writing." This use, however, may not really be true to the word.

As for the language example above, Hmong -- from Southeast Asia, is a language that in my lifetime has been codified; when the Hmong people became involved in the war in Vietnam, they had no written language. Since then, it has been codified by linguists.
