Is braile an international language?

Question

Braile is used worldwide but what about in places like China, Japan and Middle East they have completely different letters and symbols and alphabets. Does a blind person have to learn a completely new "language" to interpret braile?

Answer 1

Braille is not a language at all - it is a writing system. A kind of alphabet. English-speakers write in English, just using Braille instead of the Latin alphabet.

Think like this - French and English use the same letters, but you can't understand French unless you learn it, right? Well, French speakers will write French in Braille and English speakers will write English in Braille and they will have the exact same problem understanding each other (unless they speak each other's language, of course).

Answer 2

Actually brail is a different kind of language. It is not as English, Chinese etc. It is totally based on signs and marks

These signs and marks are same all over the world there is no influence of the region where it is used and of the language used there.It is same all around the world.

So, It is an international mode of interaction

Answer 3

braile dots represent the characters in words so actually spell things out in the same way as the normal alphabet does.
a braile reader reading a 'foreign' language needs to understand that language.

I don't know if it works the same for other languages with a non Western alphabeth, but I presume it does.

probably not, since languages are different that means that the words would have to be different, so for example 'hi' would be written with other words in another language.
