VIETNAM Higher Education for Deaf...

[Valerie Sutton]

SignWriting List
August 14, 2005

Dancers oftentimes are drawn to signed languages...I am a prime  
example of that! ;-)

So if your fellow workers ever want to write both the dance movements  
and the sign movements with the same writing system they  
can...smile...writing sign language theater, classic mime and gesture  
is one of our strong points!

Regarding the similarities between the Bulgarian and Polish signed  
languages...I will have to leave that to the linguists...I don't  
know!  Val ;-)
