Шаблон:Short description Armenian Braille is either of two braille alphabets used for writing the Armenian language. The assignments of the Armenian alphabet to braille patterns is largely consistent with unified international braille, with the same punctuation, except for the comma.[1] However, Eastern and Western Armenian are assigned braille letters based on different criteria.[2] The conventions for Western Armenian were developed in Lebanon.
Eastern Armenian Braille
In Eastern Armenian, braille cells are assigned international values based on the historical correspondences of the Armenian script. For this reason they closely match the Latin transliteration convention used in the table below.

Western Armenian Braille

In Western Armenian, braille cells are assigned according to a pronunciation which diverges from the historical origin of the letters. Thus what are transliterated b g d in the table below are assigned braille values as p q th, while p t č̣ k are pronounced like English b d j g and have those braille assignments.
| Linear | , | ՞ | ’ |

Եւ (և) is Шаблон:Braille Cell.Шаблон:Citation needed
