Braille alphabet of the Catalan language
Catalan Braille
is the
braille
alphabet of the
Catalan language
. It is very close to French Braille: it uses the 26 letters of the
basic braille alphabet
, plus several additional letters for
c
and what are, in print, vowel letters with diacritics; these differ from their French values only in the need to accommodate the Catalan
acute accent
:
u, o, i
for what are in French Braille
u, œ, i
:
Print digraphs are written as digraphs in braille as well.
