<div dir="ltr">Hello,<br>it would be nice to find and purchase an official International Sign Language dictionnary or Gestuno and fill it with well formed SignWriting.<br> <br>We discussed this matter last SignWriting open office hours with Skype. It would be nice to distinguish between the international sign language and Gestuno so we focus efforts on the most used.</div><div dir="ltr"> </div><div dir="ltr"><br>Mean while, we can look volunteer based dictionaries at <br><a href="http://www.culinan.net/index.php">http://www.culinan.net/index.php</a><br> <br> <br>and<br><a href="http://www.sematos.eu/isl.html">http://www.sematos.eu/isl.html</a><br>or in French sign language:<br>there are even 2 links toward SignPuddle:<br><a href="http://www.sematos.eu/lsf.html">http://www.sematos.eu/lsf.html</a></div><div dir="ltr"> </div><div dir="ltr">André Lemyre<br><br> <br></div><div dir="ltr"><hr id="stopSpelling">Date: Tue, 17 Mar 2015 10:54:50 -0700<br>From: signwriting@MAC.COM<br>Subject: Writing Signs Understood Internationally<br>To: SW-L@LISTSERV.VALENCIACOLLEGE.EDU<br><br>SignWriting List<div>March 17, 2015</div><div><br></div><div>Dear SW List Members!</div><div><br></div><div>There are some signs that are used in many sign languages, and can be read by most signers…</div><div><br></div><div>For example, let’s discuss the sign for WRITE or WRITING.</div><div><br></div><div>I believe that many sign languages use these signs. Do you agree? There may be a difference in handshape, but they still would be understood by foreign signers reading the signs because the sign is so universal…</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><img width="328" height="225" id="ecxF1433B75-3DB0-48D5-BE0F-8DFB55C9616A" src="cid:98C4D285-5F26-4773-A241-353FDCFA89D7"></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>They all look like someone holding a pen or pencil, and making the motion of writing across a palm of the hand, or down in columns or down a blackboard, or with a flourish, and it would be hard to say what sign language the sign comes from…There are probably many more variations upon the same theme...</div><div><br></div><div>Can we call these “international signs”?
