Dear SW List, and Romy -
I have two contacts for writing Egyptian Sign Language, but neither are

2. Second, Mohamed Mahmod from Jordan, taught SignWriting in Saudi
Arabia, with a group of teachers from the Arabic Nations. And some of
those teachers were from Egypt. Go to this web page:

SignWriting in the Arabic Nations
http://signwriting.org/arabia/arabia.html

I would suggest writing to Mohamed to ask if he knows of an Egyptian
Sign Language dictionary. I hope someday we will have that in
SignWriting!
