that´s a nice idea to collect all the different signs . Can you share your collection in the end ? Would be very kind Here is my contribution from Germany DGS - Father (Vater) and Daddy (Papa) All the best Stfan ;-) ----- Original Message ----- From: Wayne Smith To: Sent: Wednesday, June 07, 2000 5:52 AM 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 | |||||
