abbreviations for signed languages?

[Shane Gilchrist O hEorpa]

Hope,

Bahasa Isyarat Indonesia = BII

maybe u can say BII - its the same with NGT = Dutch Sign Lang, LSF =
French Sign Lang etc

there's Irish Sign Language (ISL), Indian Sign Language (ISL or IPSL),
Israeli Sign Language (Shassi) and now Indonesian Sign Language (BII).

Deaf Indians use English so i guess it'll be ISL - I find it funny
when my Indian colleagues says ISL and I think, yeah, Irish Sign
Language (!) as ISL was my first language (when I was wee)

I wonder if there is a need for us to change the name ISL to something
else if the Indians wont change theirs?
