SignWriting List
October 2, 2004

Dear SW List, and Anny and Swiss-French Team!
What is the sign for Swiss-French Sign Language, and also Swiss-German
Sign Language? How do I write those two signs in SignWriting? Perhaps
you can write them with SignMaker and place them in your dictionary
online? Then I can find them in your dictionary!

Many Thanks!!

And we are soooo glad to have you all working with us!

Val ;-)
