Thebraille alphabet used to writeHungarian is based on the international norm for the 27 basic letters of theLatin script. However, the letters forq andz have been replaced, to increase the symmetry of the accented letters of theHungarian alphabet, which are largely innovative to Hungarian braille.^[1][2]

TheHungarian alphabet is:

A Á B C Cs D Dz Dzs E É F G Gy H I Í J K L Ly M N Ny O Ó Ö Ő P (Q) R S Sz T Ty U Ú Ü Ű V (W) (X) (Y) Z Zs

The letters that conform to traditional braille are:

a	b	c	d	e	f	g	h
i	j	k	l	m	n	o	p
r	s	t	u	v	w	x	y

The accented vowel letters are derived from their base letters through stretching or reflection as follows. The traditional letter forq (which is not part of the basic Hungarian alphabet) has been reassigned toö, and an unused pattern has been assigned toü:

	a	e	i	o	ö	u	ü	q
ä	á	é	í	ó	ő	ú	ű

This creates the following symmetrical pattern for the umlauted vowels:

ö	ő
ü	ű

(Ä is not part of the basic Hungarian alphabet.)

The consonant digraphs are derived from their base letters as follows. The traditional letter forz has been replaced, and is used for a parenthesis. As with the accented vowels, the majority of digraphs are created through reflection:

c	g	l	n	t	s	z
cs	gy	ly	ny	ty	sz	zs
ccs	ggy	lly	nny	tty	ssz	zzs

This creates the following pattern among thesibilants:

s	sz
z	zs

Dz and Dzs are treated as D-Z and D-Zs respectively.

Unlike English or French Braille, Hungarian Braille has separate opening and closing symbols for both parentheses and quotation marks.
