Sign Languages

[BrumBrum]

I've got an idea for sign langauges in the world. Maybe for sign language we could have standard sign languages for the main langauges with perhaps some dialects but basically enough similarity to understand each other. So for example you have a Laurentian sign langauge, llanlanian sign langauge , Florinthian sign langauge and not german sign langauge etc .... Basically alot of common sign langauges adopted for ease of use. These could be the ones taught in the schools, colleges and universities. We could explain it by maybe one or two nations deaf societies harmonising or maybe they spread out from points.

Countries likely have a localized sign language, yeah. There's likely no widely adopted international sign language, though. I mean, there's undoubtedly an International Sign language, but it's likely a recent development and hasn't been forced on people. Sign languages are supposedly natural languages, and there are likely big differences in the sign languages of countries that use the same spoken language, unless they're, like, right next to each other.

So, yeah. There likely is an International Sign language, but it's likely not widely adopted even among the deaf. That would be ERODING MUH SOVEREIGNTAH.

Well I was thinking when founding and setting a standard societies got together independently and worked out a common version to teach. At least for the very key signs or alphabet system. Like the ASL is part of the french school so when Goldecia went to develop one for example the main deaf organisations looked to florinthus for example or Llanlanias sign langauge took hold. This would likely be out of a need for them to be intelligible and just pure ease of use. So not so much the states had a role in the development of sign langauge but organisations or schools did instead. If they co-operated a little internationally its easier and makes the language infinitely more useful even if the international versions are more recent.Basically collaberation born out of need and ease.Basically the localized versions are more like dialects which are understandable between each other to a degree (say 80% commonality).
