Braille alphabet of the Kyrgyz language
The braille alphabet used for the Kyrgyz language is based on Russian Braille, with a few additional letters found in the print Kyrgyz alphabet.
Alphabet
Kyrgyz Braille uses the entire Russian Braille alphabet, though some letters are only found in loans and in addition has the letters ң, ө, ү.

Although the non-Russian letters ң, ө, ү are found in many other Cyrillic alphabets, their braille assignments are unrelated to those or with international norms.[2] Compare the ң, ө, ү of Kazakh Braille, for example.
