Hello all,

We need your views on Irish Braille!

I am writing to you on behalf of the INBAF Irish Braille Working Group.
This working group is charged with the revision of the Braille code
used for the Irish language (Gaeilge).

The current Irish Braille code is described by the Wikipedia article
at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irish_Braille

Pat Farrell, a member of the working group,  took the initiative of
suggesting comprehensive Irish Braille code revision which has been
discussed by the group over the last year. We now have a full draft
version of a suggested new Irish Braille code which is available in
braille and print and in electronic format (please contact Pat on
patfarrell@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx for a copy).

We are especially interested in everyone's views on the suggested new
Irish wordsigns and the two different options for expressing letters
with long accent signs  (fadas).

The objective is to agree on a new code, preserving appropriate
elements of the existing code and developing where needed. In revising
the code, the working group will take into account readability and
ease of learning.

 It is really important that all those with an interest inIrish
Braille express their views.

If you are a reader of Irish in Braille, or would like to read Irish
in Braille, whether in book format or on a Braille display, your views
are important.

Can you please contact us with your views. Proposed new drafts for
trial  will be circulated in due course when agreed by the working
group.

Can you please reply to this mail on the llist with your thoughts,  or
email   Pat Farrell at the above address with your comments and for a
copy of the new draft.

Can you please pass this mail on to anyone you know who may have an
interest in Irish in Braille who is not on this list.

Many thanks
Ronan McGuirk, on behalf of
INBAF Irish Braille Working Group
