Various forms of written Gallifreyan have appeared. By the time of the Doctor, the archaic Old High Gallifreyan language spoken in the days of Rassilon had given way to a more contemporary form of the language. (DW: The Five Doctors)

This later "vulgate" was presumably the Doctor's native language.

An example of the second type of writing: interlocking/overlapping circles. (Note the Doctor's handwritten note in the upper right corner.) (DW: Utopia)
This implies that the Renegade Daleks would know how to interpret Gallifreyan writing.
Previous to this, we had seen the TARDIS' displays, when they appeared, in English.
