From French Wikipedia or a shorter english version. Algerian Jewish Sign Language or Gharadaia Sign Language The Ghardaia Sign Language, also known as Algerian Jewish Sign Language, is an endangered village sign language originally from Ghardaïa, Algeria that is now spoken in Israel. The Jewish community of Ghardaïa emigrated to France and Israel in 1966. However, as deaf Algerian Jews tended to marry deaf Israelis from other backgrounds, the language of the home became Israeli sign language. GSL is therefore moribund, being used primarily by deaf immigrants with their siblings and parents, and ironically more widespread among hearing immigrants, who are not part of israeli deaf culture, than among the deaf.

Unlike much of West Africa, the American Sign Language was not introduced in the Gambia until much. Source: wikipedia Dictionary Gambian Association of the Deaf and Hard of Hearing (GADHOH).

  • Sign Language Typology Series
    SIGN LANGUAGE TYPOLOGY SERIES The Sign Language Typology Series is dedicated to the comparative study of sign languages around the world. Individual or collective works that systematically explore typological variation across sign languages are the focus of this series, with particular emphasis on undocumented, underdescribed and endangered sign languages. The scope of the series primarily includes cross-linguistic studies of grammatical domains across a larger or smaller sample of sign languages, but also encompasses the study of individual sign languages from a typological perspective and comparison between signed and spoken languages in terms of language modality, as well as theoretical and methodological contributions to sign language typology.

You must go to the local Department of Social and Employment Services (California), apply for aid, surrender private information and face the potential emotional backlash or shame that, for some, accompanies the decision to ask for help. Now imagine that you are a member of a cultural group that uses a language, customs and social mores unknown to most people.

  • Sign Language Endangerment and Linguistic Diversity Ben Braithwaite
    RESEARCH REPORT Sign language endangerment and linguistic diversity Ben Braithwaite University of the West Indies at St. Augustine It has become increasingly clear that current threats to global linguistic diversity are not re - stricted to the loss of spoken languages. Signed languages are vulnerable to familiar patterns of language shift and the global spread of a few influential languages. But the ecologies of signed languages are also affected by genetics, social attitudes toward deafness, educational and public health policies, and a widespread modality chauvinism that views spoken languages as inherently superior or more desirable. This research report reviews what is known about sign language vi - tality and endangerment globally, and considers the responses from communities, governments, and linguists. It is striking how little attention has been paid to sign language vitality, endangerment, and re - vitalization, even as research on signed languages has occupied an increasingly prominent posi - tion in linguistic theory. It is time for linguists from a broader range of backgrounds to consider the causes, consequences, and appropriate responses to current threats to sign language diversity. In doing so, we must articulate more clearly the value of this diversity to the field of linguistics and the responsibilities the field has toward preserving it.* Keywords : language endangerment, language vitality, language documentation, signed languages 1. Introduction. Concerns about sign language endangerment are not new. Almost immediately after the invention of film, the US National Association of the Deaf began producing films to capture American Sign Language (ASL), motivated by a fear within the deaf community that their language was endangered (Schuchman 2004).

  • What Sign Language Creation Teaches Us About Language Diane Brentari1∗ and Marie Coppola2,3
    Focus Article What sign language creation teaches us about language Diane Brentari1∗ and Marie Coppola2,3 How do languages emerge? What are the necessary ingredients and circumstances that permit new languages to form? Various researchers within the disciplines of primatology, anthropology, psychology, and linguistics have offered different answers to this question depending on their perspective. Language acquisition, language evolution, primate communication, and the study of spoken varieties of pidgin and creoles address these issues, but in this article we describe a relatively new and important area that contributes to our understanding of language creation and emergence. Three types of communication systems that use the hands and body to communicate will be the focus of this article: gesture, homesign systems, and sign languages. The focus of this article is to explain why mapping the path from gesture to homesign to sign language has become an important research topic for understanding language emergence, not only for the field of sign languages, but also for language in general. © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

  • The Deaf of Mozambique
    Profile Year: 2015 People and Language Detail Report Language Name: Mozambican Sign Language ISO Language Code: mzy The Deaf of Mozambique The Mozambican Sign Language Community Among the poorest of the poor in Mozambique, the Mozambican Deaf typically are unemployed or under-employed. This forces them to remain with their (hearing) family to have regular income, moving to a city to try to find employment or joining a local Deaf gang. Local churches have tried to reach out to meet the needs of the Deaf, but the need is quite large. Most Deaf live for “today.” Many fall into sexual immorality as well as drugs, alcohol, gangs, and stealing to survive. As a Deaf population within a hearing one, the Mozambican Deaf struggle from the same things that most Deaf globally do: ● Most are born to hearing parents, but do not usually learn language or values from them. They often lack anything more than basic communication skills with family members. ● Their difficulty is not the inability to hear, but the great barrier to communicating with the surrounding dominant culture, especially acquiring photo by DOOR International information. ● In Mozambique, many hearing families still consider the birth of a deaf child to be a curse for some previous sin or wrong. Primary Religion: Mozambique formally recognized Mozambican Sign Language as an Non-religious __________________________________________________ indigenous language in 2005. But it has only three schools for the deaf, with Disciples (Matt 28:19): limited use of Mozambican Sign Language (oral methods are employed: to Less than 2% read lips, speak and read __________________________________________________ Portuguese).
