Georgian Braille

Georgian Braille is a braille alphabet used for writing the Georgian language. The assignments of the Georgian alphabet to braille patterns is largely consistent with unified international braille.^[1]

The basic braille range mostly conforms with international norms, with the exception of sounds which do not occur in Georgian, such as ⠋ *f (reassigned in Georgian to თ t’), and ⠟ *q, which is used for ჩ ch’ rather than ყ q. The assignment of ⠟ to ჩ ch’ is reminiscent of Russian Braille, as is one or two other letters (⠱ for შ sh is widespread in Eastern Europe), but most of the extended-letter assignments are unique to Georgian.

^* ჻ is an old word divider, no longer in use.^[2]
