Mongolian Braille

Mongolian Braille is the braille alphabets used for the Mongolian language in (Outer) Mongolia. It is based on Russian Braille, with a couple additional letters for print letters found in the Mongolian Cyrillic alphabet.^[1]

Alphabet

The printed Mongolian Cyrillic alphabet has all the letters of printed Russian, though some are only used in loan words, plus the letters ө, ү.

Braille

The non-Russian letters ө, ү, have the forms of two obsolete letters of Russian Braille. The Mongolian vowel ө (ö) is coincidentally similar in print to the old Russian consonant ѳ (th), and it takes the latter's braille assignment, ⠧; the Mongolian vowel ү (ü) takes the assignment of the old Russian vowel yat, ⠹.
