Northern Sami Braille

Northern Sami Braille is the braille alphabet of the Northern Sami language.[1] It was developed in the 1980s based on the Scandinavian Braille alphabet but with the addition of seven new letters (á, č, đ, ŋ, š, ŧ, ž) required for writing in Northern Sámi.[2]

Punctuation is the same as in Norwegian Braille.

gollark: I'm confused by your sentence. Are you saying that they're aware their worldview doesn't make sense, but that they don't realize that they made that clear?
gollark: That is very weirdly specific of you.
gollark: As opposed to guessing.
gollark: Facts are a *great* way to understand the underlying physical reality of things.
gollark: It might be true in some ridiculously broadly defined sense, but it then loses any actual utility.
