BRAZIL tongue position inside the mouth

SignWriting List

Augusto - I just found out that you are already an Editor of the  
SignPuddle dictionary! That is great news ;-) So you do not have to  
sign up again...you have already done that ;-) Sorry for my confusion...

Charles -
Yes...I need to work on other projects, like getting the new upload  
for SignBank on the web, so we can work on your dictionary  
publication! So I think it would be great if Augusto and others can  
try to write what they need with the symbols in SignMaker in  
SignPuddle, and add them to the Brazilian SignPuddle themselves, even  
though they are only mouth movements or speech-related symbols...that  
can be marked as such, in the dictionary...Then, post an example to  
our List here and we can have fun discussing it!

I hope you can add a few of the signs from your dictionary project  
into the Brazilian SignPuddle too, so that when I start teaching how  
to create multi-lingual dictionaries with SignBank, we can use a few  
examples from your dictionary document, to test it, etc...smile...

And regarding Mouth Movements...remember looking at the work of  
Stefan Woehrmann...even though that is for the German spoken language  
mouth movements, it still is a fascinating system (Mundbildschrift)  
that is working with Deaf children in Germany...
