Zambian Braille is any of several braille alphabets of Zambia. It has been developed for the languages Bemba, Chewa, Lozi, Kaonde, Lunda, Luvale, and Tonga.
It is based on the 26 letters of the basic braille alphabet used for Grade-1 English Braille, so the print digraph ch is written as a digraph ⠉⠓ in braille as well. The letter ñ/ŋ[ŋ] of several of the print alphabets is distinguished from the sequence ng[ŋɡ] with an apostrophe: ⠝⠛⠄ñ, as in the equivalent ng’ of print Bemba. The various alphabets, including digraphs that occur in any one of them, can thus be summarized as:
a
b
bb
c
cc
ch
d
e
f
g
h
hh
i
j
k
kh
kk
l
m
n
ñ, ŋ, ng’
o
p
ph
q
r
s
sh
th
t
u
v
w
