Navajo Braille is the braille alphabet of the Navajo language. It uses a subset of the letters of Unified English Braille, along with the punctuation and formatting of that standard. There are no contractions.
Additional letters, beyond those of English braille, are ⠹ for ł, ⠄ for ' (glottal stop and ejective consonants), the French vowels with grave accents for the Navajo vowels with acute accents (high tone), and ⠨ for ogonek on the following vowel (nasal vowels, e.g. ⠨⠁ for ą, ⠨⠷ for ą́). ⠋ is only used for the digit 6, as the letter 'f' does not exist in the Navajo alphabet.
In numerical order by decade, the letters are:
 a, 1 |  b, 2 |  c, 3 |  d, 4 |  e, 5 |  6 |  g, 7 |  h, 8 |  i, 9 |  j, 0 |
 k |  l |  m |  n |  o |  s |  t |  x |  y |  z |
 á |  é |  ł |  w |  í |  ó |  ' |  ogonek |
The alphabet was created by Carol Begay Green [1] and adopted by the Navajo Nation in 2015. [2]
