Lithuanian Braille is the braille alphabet of the Lithuanian language.

Alphabet

The alphabet is as follows:

	a	ą	b	c	č	d	e	ę	ė	f	g
h	i	į	j	k	l	m	n	o	p	q	r
s	š	t	u	ū	ų	v	w	x	y	z	ž

Most of the print letters with accents are derived in Lithuanian braille by adding a dot 6 to the base letter, and those which already have a dot 6 through inversion (cf. Czech Braille, Esperanto Braille). Ū uses the international convention for a second u. Ž is unusual, but perhaps forms a set with s, š, z (cf. Hungarian Braille).

Derivation of extended letters

a	c	e		i	u		s	z
ą	č	ę	ė	į	ų	ū	š	ž

Several of these conventions are used in Polish Braille.
