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.
| а a | б b | в v | г g | д d | е ye | ё yo | ж j | з z | и i[1] | й y | к k | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|

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.

- Though perhaps just coincidence, the letter ү may be an exception, as it somewhat resembles a Latin v and is written as a v in braille.
