Subject: LL-L Sign language

A case of language creation (see annex).
These two deaf monozygotic twins developed an own sign dialect, that their
brother, who learned standard sign language, could not understand.
It is a sad story: since, when one of the two developed glaucoma, they
decided to die together since they could not accept not seeing each other
anymore.

Regards,
Roger
