Tamil Braille is the smallest of the Bharati braille alphabets.[1] (For the general system and for punctuation, see that article.)
Vowel letters are used rather than diacritics, and they occur after consonants in their spoken order.

The last two letters, ṉ and ḻ, are shared with Malayalam, but otherwise ṉ is used for the anusvara (nasalization) in other Bharati alphabets, while ḻ is also used in Urdu Braille but for the unrelated letter ʻayn.
