Irish Braille is the braille alphabet of the Irish language. It is augmented by specifically Irish letters for vowels that take acute accents in print: : ''é'' and ''ú'' are only coincidentally the French Braille letters for ''é'' and ''ú'': They are simply the braille letters of the third decade after ''z'', assigned to print in alphabetical order. Irish Braille also uses some of the Grade-1½ shortcuts of English Braille, : only has the value ''ar'' in prose. In poetry, it is used to mark a new line, like "/" in print. These shortcuts are not used across elements of compound words. For example, in ''uiscerian'' (uisce-rian) "aqueduct", ''e-r'' is spelled out, as is ''s-t'' in ''trastomhas'' (tras-tomhas) "diameter". There are no special braille letters for dotted consonants. The letter ''h'' is used instead, as in modern print. A shortcut may be used even when the final consonant is lenited with ''h''; ''comh'', for example, is written ''com-h''. The only word-sign is the letter ''s'' for ''agus'' "and". The letters ''j k q v w x y z'' were not originally part of the Irish alphabet, but apart from ''w'' they have been introduced through English loans, so they occur in Irish Braille. Punctuation is the same as in English Braille. ==References== *''Standard Irish (Gaeilge) Braille 2010'', National Council for the Blind of Ireland 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Irish Braille」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
