Bharati Braille

The Bharati Braille (Hindi: भारती ब्रेल Bharati Brel; IPA: [b ʱ a ː ː ɾət̪i bɾɛ ː l]; भारत Bhārat; German "India " ) is an adaptation of the Braille on the Indian scriptures.

History

The Bharati Braille in 1951, developed and introduced by the Indian government. Previously, the country had many different braille for the various Indian scriptures in use.

Shaping

The Bharati Braille waived the complex ligatures of Indian scriptures and does not distinguish between self and combining vowel characters, as do the Indian scriptures.

It is designed so that all Indian scriptures use the same Braille codes.
