BRAZIL question about sign for OITO

[Charles Butler]

Yes, I believe the person in the accessolibras dictionary is in Rio de Janeiro, a different accent.

I know of at least five different regional accents in Libras, so it is important to distinguish them.

The "1" for instance, in Porto Alegre is the index finger, in Sao Paulo it is a "10" hand, so the LIBRAS Puddle will have to reflect regionalisms as well.

Quite a challenge.

Hello Charles - Thanks for this question.

Take a look at the old Brazilian Fingerspelling Keyboard for  
SignWriter DOS. Find the "Number 8" key on the keyboard. That is how  
we wrote it back then, with the help of Marianne and Ronice:
