Braille

Ukrainian Braille is the braille alphabet of the Ukrainian language. It is based on Russian Braille, with a few additional letters found in the print Ukrainian alphabet.

Alphabet

[edit]

Ukrainian does not use all the letters of the Russian alphabet, and it has the additional letters є, ґ, і, ї.
