Dear SW List, and Suksiri...
Thank you for this question, Suksiri, and welcome to the SignWriting
List!

It is true that our SignWriting web sites, and also this List, focus on
SignWriting. However, we do have several articles comparing SignWriting
to HamNoSys and Stokoe...You can read them on our web site. Go to:


SignWriting Linguistic Forum
http://www.SignWriting.org/forums/linguistics/linguistics.html

or go directly to the articles:

Everyone - I noticed that the link to the pdf file for Joe's article is
no longer working, so I will search for the pdf and re-post it...I have
no memory of how that happened, but it is a shame and I hope I can find
it!
