As I mentioned, i'm fully aware that i'm likely overthinking and potentially over complicating things. And since i'm already going down that route...
I would throw out a counter argument to the idea of the Qestir being unable to read outside languages. Given that one of the tribes attempts to trick the merchant out of his wares, showing that certain tribes aren't against underhanded tactics to get ahead with the Naadam so close, why not offer to write a letter for an outsider? Surely if the Qestir were open to written language then they would logically know the written system within the Steppes and that would have been a far more subtle way for that tribe to go about their trickery.Â
The merchant would get a letter that the Qestir could understand. The tribe could have potentially gotten the wares they desired out of the exchange.
Of course it's entirely possible that, like I said, i'm applying too much logic to an aspect of the game that wasn't meant to be nitpicked.
