Alphabet

Turkish Braille follows international usage. The vowels with diacritics, ö and ü, have their French/German forms, whereas the consonants with diacritics, ç, ğ, and ş, have the forms of the nearest English approximations, ch, gh, and sh. Dotless i is derived by shifting down.[1][2][3]

is perhaps related to in Irish Braille, which marks a new line of verse.

For quotations, the dash — is used differently from inverted commas “...”, for example when transcribing short turns in dialog.

Extensions to other languages

Azeri (Azerbaijani) Braille adds the letters x and q with their international forms and . These letters are used in Azeri Braille, or in the case of Turkish Braille, in foreign words. w is only used for foreign words in both Turkish and Azeri Braille. Azeri Braille uses the accent mark to derive print ə (formerly ä) from a.[5][unreliable source?]

⠈ (braille pattern dots-4) ⠁ (braille pattern dots-1)
ə
⠭ (braille pattern dots-1346)
x
⠟ (braille pattern dots-12345)
q
