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].
Alphabet
ა a | ბ b | გ g | დ d | ე e | ვ v | ზ z | თ t’ | ი i | კ k | ლ l |
მ m | ნ n | ო o | პ p | ჟ zh | რ r | ს s | ტ t | უ u | ფ p’ | ქ k’ |
ღ gh | ყ q | შ sh | ჩ ch’ | ც ts’ | ძ dz | წ ts | ჭ ch | ხ kh | ჯ dj | ჰ h |
The basic braille range mostly conforms with international norms, with the exception of sounds which do not occur in Georgian, such as *f, 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, but most of the extended-letter assignments are unique to Georgian.
Punctuation
| , | . | ? | ! | ; | : | ჻ | „... “ | ||
