>A suggestion regarding country6 = Brazil >Brazilian Sign Language: BSL or BraSL (so as not to mix with British Sign > Language) >In Portuguese: Lingua de Sinais Brasileira: LSB or LSBra or LiSBra. >Take your pick. :-) >Fernando C. Capovilla, Ph.D. >Professor, Institute of Psychology >University of Sao Paulo, Brazil ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ August 2, 1999 Thanks Fernando! Your suggestion of LSB for a three-letter acronym for Brazilian Sign Language is the same as Eduardo's...and I like it very much! I sure wish we could use it....the only problem is that it is the same as the French acronym for Belgian Sign Language.... Eduardo also suggested LBR... These are the acronyms used in the ISO: Brazil: BR Portuguese: PT and then we would add.... Brazilian Sign language, or LIBRAS: LBR How does that seem?
