On Tibetan-Language Braille and Its Abbreviations

The blind people in Tibet need a scientific and practical program of Tibetan-language Braille and its abbreviations,but presently there is no mature program of Tibetan-language Braille in China.The existing two programs of Tibetan-language Braille are not consistent with the rules of both tactile reading and Tibetan language.The research into Tibetan-language Braille is supposed to focus on both the basic program and the abbreviations,and give full play to latecoming advantages.According to the rules for the combination of Tibetan letters,the frequency of using these letters,and the tactility of Braille symbols,the letter symbols of the Tibetan language can be designed in pursuit of the overall optimization of the tactility of Tibetan-language Braille.Tibetan-language Braille is supposed to combine the rules of using Tibetan letters and the rules of tactility in Braille symbols,and a scientific and concise Tibetan-language Braille and its abbreviations are expected to be created.
