Braille is a way of writing that blind people can read with their fingers. The page has little raised dots in groups. Each group stands for a letter, a number, or a short word. You do not look at braille; you touch it. You may meet it on lift buttons, on medicine boxes, on some menus. Louis Braille, a French teacher who was blind himself, worked out the system in the 1800s, and the writing took his name. In English we usually say it like “Brail,” to rhyme with mail. Though actually, that is not how the French name sounds; English speakers looked at the letters and said them the English way. You may still see a capital B, because it began as a name, but many books now write it with a small b, like other common words.
組成From French braille, named after the French teacher Louis Braille (1809–1852). The English sound /eɪl/ (as in mail) follows the spelling; French says the name more like “bry.”
