Sign language in South America (Chile specifically)

[Jonathan]

Hi Adam,
    I know of a site that has a short video in several sign languages.  
One being Chilean.  Take a look at http://watchtower.org/e/sign.htm .  
There are other Chilean DVDs are listed that you can request at 
http://watchtower.org/address/article_01.htm .
    There is also a lovely article about signlanguages that all 
signlanguage lovers will enjoy viewing or listening to and it briefly 
mentions the good reaction of deaf people to the DVDs in South America.  
The link to the ASL version is w09 08/15-ASL_06  
<http://www.jw.org/index.html?option=QrYQFVTrZNT&selLang=ASL&selMne=w> 
It is also available in Colombian and Italian sign language.      The 
audio versions of the same article 'Jehovah Has Made His Face Shine 
Toward Them' can be found at  the following link 
<http://www.jw.org/index.html?option=QrYQZRQVNZNT>in over 19 spoken 
languages.  It's in the August 15th issue.
    I hope helps and  that you enjoy watching them.  They aren't 
dictionaries  per say but being that the same information is published 
in several languages  hopefully you can  figure out some of the signs.
