Putting vocab online?
[edit]Hi,
I am very interested to find the vocabulary for ISL, or at least a subset of the vocabulary? I can't even seem to find a copy of the book that first published the vocabulary set... Anybody? Thanks, Brettz9 (talk) 22:51, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
- Yeah, that would be nice. I lot of work, though. kwami (talk) 23:46, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
- Know where I might find it? Brettz9 (talk) 23:59, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
- Nope. I've seen the book, but don't have a copy of it. Interlibrary loan's the way to go if they don't charge you too much. kwami (talk) 01:26, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
Apparently not much of the original Gestuno vocabulary (from the dictionary) is actually used in I.S. nowadays. Here's a link to a paper with examples of signs: http://gri.gallaudet.edu/Publications/ragu_fall2005.pdf I'll update the article with some of the info from this paper. I don't think we can use the images though, due to copyright. ntennis 02:01, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

"Deaf people typically know only one sign language"
[edit]This line is far too simplistic, as there are many places in the world where bilingualism in Deaf communities is quite common. For an example of one such community, see Woodward et al.'s grammatical 2015 sketch of Hanoi Sign Language, published in the collection "Sign Languages of the World."
