Alphabet

Kazakh uses all of the letters of the Russian alphabet, though some just in loans and has the additional letters ә, ғ, қ, ң, һ, ө, ұ, ү, і.

Apart from і, which once existed in Russian Braille and ұ, which is the same as the ў of Belarusian Braille (a letter which was used in earlier Kazakh alphabets with the same value), the braille values assigned to the extra Kazakh letters do not follow the assignments of other languages that use the Cyrillic script in print. They also do not follow international norms, apart from ә (Latin ä).
