Philippine Braille orFilipino Braille is thebraille alphabet of the Philippines. Besides Filipino (Tagalog), essentially the same alphabet is used forIlocano,Cebuano,Hiligaynon andBicol.[1][2]
Philippine Braille is based on the 26 letters of thebasic braille alphabet used for Grade-1English Braille, so the print digraphng is written as a digraph⠝⠛ in braille as well. The print letterñ is rendered with the generic accent point,⠈⠝. These are considered part of the alphabet, which is therefore,
 a |  b |  c |  d |  e |  f |  g |  h |  i |  j |
 k |  l |  m |  n |  ñ | ng |  o |  p | ||
 q |  r |  s |  t |  u |  v |  w |  x |  y |  z |
Numbers and punctuation are as in traditional English Braille, though the virgule / is⠸⠌ as in Unified English Braille.
