    Tibetan Braille

    Tibetan Braille is thebraillealphabet for writing theTibetan language. It was invented in 1992 by German

    socialworkerSabriye Tenberken.[1]It is based on German braille, with some extensions from international

    usage. As in print, the vowel a is not written.

    Tibetan Braille chartTibetan Braille follows the print orthography. (SeeTibetan script.) This is often a poor match for how words

    are pronounced. Each syllable is rendered in the following order:

    pre-consonant, superscript consonant, head consonant, subscript consonant, vowel, post-consonant(s)[2]

    The invariable consonants are:

    Consonants ka kha ga nga ca cha ja nya

    Print Braille

    Consonants ta tha da na pa pha ba ma

    Print

    Braille

    Consonants tsa tsha dza zha za 'a sha ha

    Print

    Several consonants, wa, ya, ra, la, andsa, are provided with forms corresponding to the superscript and

    subscript positions in print:[3]

    first the pre consonant, this could be a b, m d ' etc. Then the main consonant. After the main consonant the vowel and

    then the post consonant. If the main consonant has a super or a sub script, an extra letter that indicates the super script or

    The Tibetan alphabet is anabugidaofIndicorigin used to write theTibetan languageas well as the

    Dzongkha language,Denzongkha,Ladakhi languageand sometimes theBalti language. The printed form of

    the alphabet is calleduchenscript (Tibetan:,Wylie:dbu-can; "with a head") while the hand-writtencursive form used in everyday writing is calledum(Tibetan:,Wylie:dbu-med; "headless").

    The alphabet is very closely linked to a broad ethnic Tibetan identity. Besides Tibet, it has also been usedfor Tibetan languages inBhutan,India,Nepal, andPakistan.[1]The Tibetan alphabet is ancestral to the

    Limbu alphabet, the Lepcha alphabet,[2]and the multilingual'Phags-pa script.[2]

    The Tibetan alphabet isromanizedin a variety of ways.[3]This article employs theWylie transliteration

    system.

    History

    The creation of the Tibetan alphabet is attributed toThonmi Sambhotaof the mid-7th century. Tradition

    holds that Thonmi Sambhota, a minister ofSongtsen Gampo(569-649), was sent to India to study the art of

    writing, and upon his return introduced the alphabet. The form of thelettersis based on anIndic alphabetofthat period.[4]

    Three orthographic standardizations were developed. The most important, an official orthography aimed to

    facilitate the translation of Buddhist scriptures, emerged during the early 9th century. Standard orthography

    has not altered since then, while the spoken languagehas changedby, for example, losing complex

    consonant clusters. As a result, in all modern Tibetan dialects, in particular in theStandard TibetanofLhasa,

    there is a great divergence between spelling (which reflects the 9th-century[contradictory] spoken Tibetan) and

    pronunciation. This divergence is the basis of an argument in favour ofspelling reform, to write Tibetan "as

    it is pronounced", for example, writing "Kagyu" instead of "Bka'-rgyud". In contrast, the pronunciation of

    theBalti,LadakhiandBuriglanguages adheres more closely to the archaic spelling.

    The Tibetan alphabet has 30consonants, sometimes known as radicals, which are the basis of the script .[2]

    added as a superscript.[2]R actually changes form when it is above most other consonants; thus rka.

    However, an exception to this is the cluster rnya. Similarly, the consonants w, r, and y change form whenthey are beneath other consonants; thus kwa; kra; kya.

    Besides being written as subscripts and superscripts, some consonants can also be placed in prescript,

    postscript, or post-postscript positions. For instance, the consonants g, d, b, m, and a ("a chung") can beused in the prescript position to the left of other radicals, while the position after a radical (th e postscriptposition), can be hed by the ten consonants g, n, b, d, m, a, r, n , s, and . he third position, the post-postscript position, is solely for the consonants d and s.[2]

    Thevowelsused in the alphabet are a, i, u, e, and o. While the vowel a is included in each consonant or

    radical, the other vowels are indicated by marks; thus ka, ki, ku, ke,ko. The vowels i, e, and oare placed above consonants as diacritics, while the vowel u is placed underneath consonants.[2]Old Tibetan

    included a gigu 'verso' of uncertain meaning. There is no distinction between long and short vowels in

    written Tibetan, except inloanwords, especially transcribed from the Sanskrit.

    In the Tibetan script, thesyllablesare written from left to right.[9]Syllables are separated by a tseg (); since

    many Tibetan words are monosyllabic, this mark often functions almost as a space. Spaces are not used to

    divide words.

    Although some Tibetan dialects aretonal, the language had no tone at the time of the script's invention, and

    there are no dedicated symbols for tone. However, since tones developed from segmental features they can

    usually be correctly predicted by the archaic spelling of Tibetan words.

    As in other Indic scripts, clustered consonants are often stacked vertically. Unfortunately, some fonts and

    applications do not support this behavior for Tibetan, so these examples may not display properly; you

    might have to download a font such asTibetan Machine Uni.

    The Sanskrit "cerebral" (retroflex) consonants (a, ha, a, a, a) are represented by the

    reversing the letters (ta, tha, da, na, sha) to give (Ta, Tha, Da, Na, Sa).

    It is a classic rule to transliterate (ca cha ja jha) to (tsa tsha dza dzha),respectively. Nowadays, (ca cha ja jha) can also be used.

    Unicode

    Tibetan was originally one of the scripts in the first version of theUnicodeStandard in 1991, in the Unicode

    block U+1000U+104F. However, in 1993, in version 1.1, it was removed (the code points it took up wouldlater be used for theBurmese scriptin version 3.0). The Tibetan script was re-added in July, 1996 with the

    release of version 2.0.

    The Unicode block for Tibetan is U+0F00U+0FFF. It includes letters, digits and various punctuation marksand special symbols used in religious texts. Grey areas indicate non-assigned code points:
