LOUIS BRAILLE

Braille is a unique form of reading and writing, a system which was invented by Mr Louis Braille {January 4th 1809 - January 6th 1852} in the year 1825. Louis Braille was a blind Frenchman who was unable to read and write, and due to this, he developed the Braille Alphabet.
6 dot positions are used for Braille characters which are arranged in a vertical rectangle situated in 2 equal columns which contain 3 dots within each column. Different dot combinations are raised to create a specific alphabet character or number using the Braille system. This Braille system can be read for everybody, blind or not. Blind people read it by touch.Braille is now mainly used by blind people but the original idea (Barbier points) was for soldiers to be able to read at night without putting themselves in danger by using any light.

O Braille é unha forma única de lectura e escritura, un sistema que foi inventado por Louis Braille (4 de xaneiro do 1809- 6 de xaneiro do 1852) no ano 1825. Louis Braille era francés e cego e non era capaz de ler nin escribir e por iso desenrrolou o alfabeto Braille. 6 puntos en distintas posicións en un rectángulo vertical en dúas columnas iguais de 3 puntos en cada columna. Coas distintas combinacións de puntos fanse as letras e os números utilizando o sistema Braille.Este sistema pódeno ler xente cega ou non. Os cegos len polo tacto. Este sistema utilizabano principalmente a xente cega pero a idea orixinal (os puntos de Barbier) usabase para que os soldados poidesen ler á noite sen poñerse en perigo ao utilizar unha luz.
