Lithuanian Braille is the braille alphabet of the Lithuanian language.
Alphabet
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.
