Hi everyone ! Very interesting this question cause it has came out in our discussion list of sign language interpreters from Brazil. Deaf community here uses largely LIBRAS (day by day) but researchers discuss about LSB (língua de sinais brasileira), etc... I've sent to our terps list a web site about ethnologue in Deaf sign languages that they use another system (https://www.sil.org/ethnologue/families/Deaf_Sign_Language.html). This discussion never ends... Cris (SignNet Project) | ||||||||
