Samoan Braille is the braille alphabet of the Samoan language.UNESCO (2013) World Braille Usage, 3rd edition. It is a subset of the basic braille alphabet,
{| class=wikitable |- align=center
|- align=center |a||e||f||g||i||l||m||n||o||p||s||t||u||v||h||k||r
supplemented by an additional letter to mark long vowels:
{| class=wikitable |- align=center
|- align=center |ā||ē||ī||ō||ū
Unlike print Samoan, which has a special letter ʻokina for the glottal stop, Samoan Braille uses the apostrophe , which behaves as punctuation rather than as a consonant. (See Hawaiian Braille, which has a similar setup.)
Samoan Braille has an unusual punctuation mark, a reduplication sign . This is used to indicate that a word is reduplicated, as in segisegi "twilight".
