Names of signed languages

[Inge Zwitserlood]

Hi,
Within the Netherlands we use the abbreviation NGT, but for international
talks, papers and articles SLN is used. I agree with Adam that the use of
"home" abbreviations runs less risks of ambiguity. Besides, at a certain
moment we will run out of solutions like using Sign Language of the X
instead of X Sign Language, because that one is in use already. That is why
I prefer to use NGT myself. How about the rest of you?
Best,
Inge Zwitserlood
