How many languages have braille?

It's impossible to give an exact number of languages with Braille because:

* Braille is a system, not a language. It's a tactile reading and writing system that can be used to represent many different languages.

* Some languages have multiple Braille systems. For example, English has both Unified English Braille (UEB) and British Braille.

* Braille systems are constantly evolving. New systems are being developed for emerging languages, and existing systems are occasionally revised.

However, it's estimated that Braille systems exist for hundreds of languages worldwide.

Here are some sources that provide more information:

* The World Blind Union (WBU): They work on promoting Braille and its use globally.

* The Braille Authority of North America (BANA): They provide information on Braille systems used in North America.

* The International Braille Association (IBA): They work to standardize Braille across different languages.

To find out if a specific language has a Braille system, you can search online using the language name and "Braille" as keywords.
