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.
Chart
The alphabet is as follows. (See Maltese alphabet.) Ż has the form of international y.
UNESCO (2013) shows very different, and supposedly confirmed, letter assignments:
⠡ 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.
