Post by: Alejo Fernández on January 08, 2020, 10:30:47 AM
Hello, this is my first threread in Wittenberg.
As exist ASL (American Sign Language)
Talossa would have one for deff people.
We should call it TASL (Talossan Sign Language).

My sister is actually majoring in ASL in college. When we saw each other over Christmas she tried interpreting some Christmas songs as I was singing them, with comical yet interesting results.

This would be quite the undertaking as any Talossan sign language could not really build on the Talossan language itself, similarly to how ASL grammar is quite different from English grammar.

My wife knows some NZSL, which is based on British SL.

Any Talossan SL would have to be created by Deaf Talossans, and I don't think we have any of those right now?
