Lithuanian Braille is the braille alphabet of the Lithuanian language.
Alphabet
[edit]The alphabet is as follows:
| a | ą | b | c | č | d | e | ę | ė | f | g |
h | i | į | j | k | l | m | n | o | p | q | r |
s | š | t | u | ū | ų | v | w | x | y | z | ž |
Most of the print letters with accents are derived in Lithuanian braille by adding a dot 6 to the base letter, and those which already have a dot 6 through inversion (cf. Czech Braille, Esperanto Braille). Ū uses the international convention for a second u. Ž is unusual, but perhaps forms a set with s, š, z (cf. Hungarian Braille).
a | c | e | i | u | s | z | ||
ą | č | ę | ė | į | ų | ū | š | ž |
Several of these conventions are used in Polish Braille.
