Hi Brett,

As far as we are aware, numbers in literary Braille all follow the a - j
convention.  (Or put it this way, those still here at Duxbury can't think of
any exceptions)

However, there are differences in mathematical numbers in some cases, the
obvious being the use of the lower signs in the American Nemeth Braille
code.

A customer of mine is asking if the numbering sequence using the first 10
letters of the alphabet is common in other languages.  I think this is
likely in the romance languages but am unsure if this is the case in other
alphabet systems.  

If you know, please let me know too.  I appreciate your responses.

thank you!
