Alphabet[]
The alphabet is as follows:
|
a |
ą |
b |
c |
č |
d |
e |
ę |
ė |
f |
g |
h |
i |
į |
j |
k |
l |

o |
p |
q |
r |
s |
š |
t |
u |
ū |
ų |
v |
w |
x |
y |
z |
ž |
Most of the print letters with accents are derived in Lithuanian braille by adding a dot 6 to the base letter, and those which already have a dot 6 through inversion (cf. Czech Braille, Esperanto Braille). Ū uses the international convention for a second u. Ž is unusual, but perhaps forms a set with s, š, z (cf. Hungarian Braille).
