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]
