should register to hear about it!
it's definitely not fully developed (not a full system of rules and contractions etc), but it was to help him learn and read Yiddish, and he seemed happy with its functionality last I heard.
it's partly based on the Hebrew braille system, iirc, which makes sense because they share an alphabet, even if some changes needed to be made as well due to the languages being very different.

in reply to André Polykanine • • •you should be able to register, I don't have any connection to this institution, I live in Vancouver. I just left the patron ID field blank and it allowed me to register. I saw they also give an email address to contact with issues underneath
