It was specifically created so that people could learn a common language even if their spoken languages differed and it became the "lingua franca" of the Plains Native peoples for more than 500 years. Though they did not write their language down, the pictographic system used on the Navajo/Dine "talking" blankets had a one-to-one correspondence with the sign language. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Chinese, as well, is a writing system with multiple spoken languages reading the same
"symbol" for the spoken word. One can learn written language without necessarily agreeing on how it is "spoken." </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Sign Writing can help bridge that gap for those whose first language is sign language, or whose first language is a spoken language which for any number of reasons they cannot speak clearly. It is one way to start with symbols and work to the primary writing system of a given country, without giving up the primary sign language or its unique grammar in the process.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>So, far from being a "stop gap", I believe that Sign Writing can be liberating to help open up minds to a way to express their beautiful languages.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Charles Butler</DIV> <DIV><BR><BR><B><I>Valerie Sutton <signwriting@MAC.COM></I></B> wrote:</DIV> <BLOCKQUOTE class=replbq style="PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: rgb(16,16,255) 2px solid"> <DIV style="MARGIN:
