The goal of braille uniformity is to unify the braille alphabets of the world as much as possible, so that literacy in one braille alphabet readily transfers to another. Unification was first achieved by a convention of the International Congress on Work for the Blind in 1878, where it was decided to replace the mutually incompatible national conventions of the time with the French values of the basic Latin alphabet, both for languages that use Latin-based alphabets and, through their Latin equivalents, for languages that use other scripts. However, the unification did not address letters beyond these 26, leaving French and German Braille partially incompatible and as braille spread to new languages with new needs, national conventions again became disparate. A second round of unification

dbo:abstract
  • The goal of braille uniformity is to unify the braille alphabets of the world as much as possible, so that literacy in one braille alphabet readily transfers to another. Unification was first achieved by a convention of the International Congress on Work for the Blind in 1878, where it was decided to replace the mutually incompatible national conventions of the time with the French values of the basic Latin alphabet, both for languages that use Latin-based alphabets and, through their Latin equivalents, for languages that use other scripts. However, the unification did not address letters beyond these 26, leaving French and German Braille partially incompatible and as braille spread to new languages with new needs, national conventions again became disparate. A second round of unification was undertaken under the auspices of UNESCO in 1951, setting the foundation for international braille usage today. (en)
  • Unified international braille, ook internationale braille of wereldbraille, is de internationale conventie die in 1878 tot stand kwam tijdens het internationale congres over werk voor de blinden (International Congress on Work for the Blind) en in 1951 verder werd verfijnd. Het doel van het internationale braillesysteem is uniformiteit en een maximale verwantschap te handhaven tussen de verschillende brailleschriften wereldwijd. De meeste braillealfabetten zijn daarom niet gebaseerd op welke letters het meest voorkomen in de lokale taal, wat de voorgaande wijze was. Braillesystemen die zich houden aan de conventies van de unified international braille zijn bijvoorbeeld het: * Arabisch braille * Bharati braille (India) * * Frans braille * Grieks braille * Hebreeuws braille * * Nederlands braille * Russisch braille * (nl)
