Translingual
[edit]A character of the braille script, standardized internationally as the letterv
Etymology
[edit]Invented byLouis Braille,braille cells were arranged in numerical order and assigned to the letters of the French Alpha bet. Most braille Alpha bets follow this assignment for the 26 letters of the basic Latin Alpha bet or, in non-Latin scripts, for the transliterations of those letters. In such Alpha bets, the first ten braille letters (the first decade:⠁⠃⠉⠙⠑⠋⠛⠓⠊⠚) are assigned to the Latin letters A to J and to the digits 1 to 9 and 0. (Apart from '2', the even digits all have three dots:⠃⠙⠋⠓⠚.)
The letters of the first decade are those cells with at least one dot in the top row and at least one in the left column, but none in the bottom row. The next decade repeat the pattern with the addition of a dot at the lower left, the third decade with two dots in the bottom row, and the fourth with a dot on the bottom right. The fifth decade is like the first, but shifted downward one row. The first decade is supplemented by the two characters with dots in the right column and none in the bottom row, and that supplement is propagated to the other decades using the generation rules above. Finally, there are four characters with no dots in the top two rows. Many languages that use braille letters beyond the 26 of the basic Latin Alpha bet follow an approximation of the English values for additional letters.
