Sign language in South America (Chile specifically)

[Charles Butler]

You may also want to write Marianne Stumpf as she is the Brazilian representative to a new cross-country cooperation between all of the South American countries in sign language.  They met in Chile last year.

Hello Adam -
Unfortunately, Chilean Sign Language is not one of the many sign languages we have written in SignWriting in SignPuddle Online, but you can visit SignPuddle to read signs from Paraguay and other sign languages in South America...

Does anyone know, here on the SignWriting List, any source of information on Chilean Sign Languages?

I think, Adam, you will need to wait and when you arrive in Chile, contact members of the Deaf Community there, or contact a local language school or university, to inquire about taking sign language classes...that is your best bet -

Val ;-)
