Maltese Braille is the braille alphabet of the Maltese language. It was in the news in 2005 with the publication of the first braille Bible in Maltese.^[1]

Chart[]

The alphabet is as follows. (See Maltese alphabet.) Ż has the form of international y.^[2]^{[better source needed]}

	a	b	ċ	d	e	f	ġ	g	għ
h	ħ	i	j	k	l	m	n	o	p
q	r	s	t	u	v	w	x	z	ż

UNESCO (2013) shows very different, and supposedly confirmed, letter assignments:^[3]

⠡ ċ, ⠚ ġ, ⠱ ħ, ⠽ j, ⠩ x, ⠵ ż [sic], ⠷ z.

This appears to be an old proposal that was never implemented, one which followed the sounds of the letters of the print alphabet rather than the letters themselves.
