I'm working with a student from Burma. She told me that in her county the Deaf use Burmese Sign Language, but I can't find anything about it on the internet. The Deaf are considered in her country to be handicapped and are not allowed to sign in the classroom. She is learning sign writing (at a very fast rate!) and I'm going to try and get her to write her language. But I'm curious...do you know where I can find out about her sign language? They sign Burma with two hands pressed together (like in "pray") she said this is because they are Budists (spelling) worship in that country. She has very limited English and just came to this country last year. Deaf in her country are not encouraged to be together, but she still stays in contact with her friends there. Anyways, just a thought. If you know where I can find out more, let me know:) Smiles Nancy Cole Las Cruces, NM |
