Subject:  "Father" in various sign languages


Hello SW List -
As part of an upcoming Father's Day service at my
Unitarian-Universalist Church, I'm putting together a list of the words
for "father" in as many of the world's languages as possible, and I
would like to include as many sign languages as possible, too. So far,
I've collected the sign for "father" in:
1. Brazilian Sign Language (but it's an old source: "Orações
Silenciosas"). (By the way, what is the current term for Brazilian Sign
Language in Portuguese?)
2. Chinese (Beijing) SL
3. Chinese (Guangzhou) SL
4. Chinese (Shanghai) SL
5. Chinese (Hong Kong) SL
6. Indian (Delhi) SL
7. Plains Indians SL
8. Japanese SL
9. Korean SL
10. Taiwan SL and
11. Thai SL

Can you send me GIF files (or .sgn files) of the signs for "father" in
any other sign languages? I'd appreciate it greatly!
Thanks!
- Wayne Smith
