'''Gujarati Braille''' is one of the [[Bharati braille]] alphabets, and it largely conforms to the letter values of the other Bharati alphabets.<ref name="unesco3">[http://www.pharmabraille.com/LiteratureRetrieve.aspx?ID=122064 World Braille Usage], UNESCO, 2013</ref>

== Alphabet ==
The alphabet is as follows.<ref name=unesco3/> Vowel letters are used rather than diacritics, and they occur after consonants in their spoken order. For orthographic conventions, see [[Bharati Braille]].
