Faroese Braille


Faroese Braille is the braille alphabet of the Faroese language. It has the same basic letter assignments as Scandinavian Braille, with additions from the Faroese and Danish alphabets.

Alphabet

Faroese Braille bears many similarities to Icelandic Braille, and it is as easy for a Faroese-speaker to read Icelandic Braille as it is for a Faroese-speaker to read Icelandic printed text. They both contain letters not present in Scandinavian Braille; however, they differ in that Faroese Braille excludes the letters ⟨c⟩, ⟨é⟩, and ⟨þ⟩ and includes the letters ⟨å⟩, ⟨ei⟩, ⟨ey⟩, and ⟨oy⟩. Some letter assignments are different between Faroese and Icelandic Braille, such as ⟨ó⟩ and ⟨á⟩. Faroese Braille also contains several letters that are present in the Danish alphabet but not the Faroese one.
