Talk:Mongolian Braille

Inner Mongolia?
Source says this is "not in use", so I'm removing it from the article. Storing it here for future ref.

An unrelated braille alphabet, based on the traditional Mongolian alphabet, is used in Inner Mongolia. Letter assignments, as in bičig, do not follow international norms, and letters may have distinct initial, medial, and final forms, just as they do in print, with the initial or medial forms of some letters identical to the final forms of others. For instance, and  are medial o/u and ö/ü; a dot-1 is added for initial  and. On the other hand, and  in initial or medial position are a k/g and b, but in final position are an i and o.

Alphabet
* Once vowel harmony is established, ö/ü is written (initial) or  (medial).

* Medial is both l and q/g in the text, though elsewhere those are medial  and /. It is not clear if this variation is intended, typographic error, or due to dots 3 & 6 being too faint to read, but and  appear to be the same word.

Medial and final a/e vs n are distinguished by Mongolian's CV(C) syllable structure; n vs  n reflect the pointing found in print.

The two forms of final a/e/n, and, reflect the two forms found in print.

Initial vowels may be indicated by adding dot-1:,  →  o/u,  ö/ü.

Final letters may be indicated by adding a dot on the right/bottom: dot-4, r; ,  o/u; or dot-5 ,  s; ,  g.

Sample text
The braille text copied here is shown in the box at right. It appears that dots 3 and 6 may sometimes be too faint to be visible.
