Thank you George and Iain for this information. I shall have to get a copy and learn it. I should think it would make learning to speak foreign languages a good deal easier. I love these lists. They are marvelous sources of information. ----- Original Message ----- From: Iain Lackie To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Monday, January 07, 2008 11:06 AM Subject: [access-uk] Re: Is there a Braille phonetic alphabet: There certainly was a Braille Phonetic alphabet with an associated RNIB Braille publication.

When I took speech and drama in the mid 60's in college I learned of a phonetic alphabet which represented sounds rather than letters. Then I didn't know of a Braille phonetic alphabet. My professor constructed one for me. I was reading a promotion for a BELA LUGOSI collection from an old time radio site and learned he hardly spoke English when he played Dracula in the 1931 production and learned all his lines from this phonetic alphabet. Dialects can be learned using this alphabet as well. I would ask those on the duxusers list, but the question has nothing to do with the Duxbury program.
