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]
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 (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.
