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

Alphabet[edit]

Belarusian does not use all the letters of the Russian alphabet, and it has the additional letters і and ў.
