Samoan Braille

Samoan Braille is the braille alphabet of the Samoan language. It is a subset of the basic braille alphabet,


 * {| class=wikitable


 * - align=center
 * - align=center
 * a||e||f||g||i||l||m||n||o||p||s||t||u||v||h||k||r
 * }
 * }

supplemented by an additional letter to mark long vowels:


 * {| class=wikitable


 * - align=center
 * - align=center
 * ā||ē||ī||ō||ū
 * }
 * }

Unlike print Samoan, which has a special letter ʻokina for the glottal stop, Samoan Braille uses the apostrophe, which behaves as punctuation rather than as a consonant. (See Hawaiian Braille, which has a similar setup.)

Samoan Braille has an unusual punctuation mark, a reduplication sign. This is used to indicate that a word is reduplicated, as in segisegi "twilight".
