A [[Tactile Script]] is a writing system which is not intended for visual interpretation, but is "read" by touch instead. Some ''can'' be read by sight, but that is a side effect or unintended circumstanceconsequence of their design; other such scripts may be designed or used in such a way as to force touch-only interpretation. Such scripts can be either alternative alphabets for blind speakers of a language, or be the only alphabet for a language spoken by a culture or species which is blind or puts a low value on the use of sight.
 
Do not confuse [[Tactile Script]]s with writing systems which transcribe non-oral communication like [[Telepathy]], and which cannot be understood at all by persons or species lacking the relevant means of communication.
