Lithuanian Braille is the braille alphabet of the Lithuanian language.
Alphabet
The alphabet is as follows:
![]() |
![]() a |
![]() ą |
![]() b |
![]() c |
![]() č |
![]() d |
![]() e |
![]() ę |
![]() ė |
![]() f |
![]() g |
![]() h |
![]() i |
![]() į |
![]() j |
![]() k |
![]() l |
![]() m |
![]() n |
![]() o |
![]() p |
![]() q |
![]() r |
![]() s |
![]() š |
![]() t |
![]() u |
![]() ū |
![]() ų |
![]() v |
![]() w |
![]() x |
![]() y |
![]() z |
![]() ž |
Most of the print letters with accents are derived in Lithuanian braille by adding a dot 6 to the base letter, and those which already have a dot 6 through inversion (cf. Czech Braille, Esperanto Braille). Ū uses the international convention for a second u. Ž is unusual, but perhaps forms a set with s, š, z (cf. Hungarian Braille).
![]() a |
![]() c |
![]() e |
![]() i |
![]() u |
![]() s |
![]() z | ||
![]() ą |
![]() č |
![]() ę |
![]() ė |
![]() į |
![]() ų |
![]() ū |

Several of these conventions are used in Polish Braille.
