Is the Braille Alphabet the Same Between English and Spanish?

March 29, 2009

I'm working on learning braille, and I figured since I'm also learning Spanish, then learning Spanish braille would be helpful also. I just don't want to get the 2 alphabets mixed up if they are different, like ASL and other sign languages are. Thanks.

they are the same. Braille has a standard combination of points for each letter, no matter what language the word is in. I am not sure about accents é, à, ô etc. though. I had a blind schoolmate, and she did French, German English and Latin in Braille. Greek too.. Now I come to think of it: I never checked how she did greek and now I am wondering how would braille work for languages that have a different alphabet? Like chinese, russian, japanese etc.??
