SignWriting List
December 3, 2010

Shane - You amaze me. You are in Morocco right now? My goodness, the world is 
small!

I hope you two get together ;-)

Meryeme is a programmer, and is programming using ASL...

May I ask, Meryeme, did you ever consider programming writing the sign languages 
of Morocco? I would love to see some Moroccan Sign Language written in 
SignWriting!

In SignPuddle Online we do not have a dictionary file for Morocco yet...

SignPuddle Online
http://www.signbank.org/signpuddle

But I will be happy to create a Moroccan SignPuddle dictionary and literature 
area - so that Moroccan signers can start writing their own signs in SignWriting 
in SignPuddle ...

Why did you choose ASL for your software?

Val ;-)

SignWriting List
December 3, 2010

It will be a pleasure to work with you Meryeme, on any sign language!

Every region of the world has unique sign languages that develop or evolve 
naturally when groups of Deaf people live and work and go to school together - 
so sign languages, as you know, are not international or universal. There are 
some attempts at international signing, for interpreting in meetings and so 
forth, but real daily languages are naturally evolved sign languages.

ASL is known well around the world, but so are other sign languages, as you 
already mentioned, such as the sign languages from France and 
French-Switzerland, Germany, and German Switzerland - there are a long list of 
sign languages around the world, each with their own unique grammar and 
structure...and Shane is very international and works with many different sign 
languages - so I hope you can meet.

There are Tunisian signers writing Tunisian Sign Language in SignWriting now, 
and programmers from Tunisia as well -

SignWriting in Tunisia
http://www.signwriting.org/tunisia/

I live in California and work with signers from over 40 countries, to write 
their unique sign languages, on the internet.

Tonight, my father turns 89 years old, so I will be turning off my computer to 
celebrate his birthday -

So we can continue this discussion tomorrow and next week, when Steve returns to 
work on Monday.

There are programmers on the List from Honduras - hi Jonathan! and Brazil and 
other countries, and signers from around the world -

Have a great weekend everyone!

Val ;-)
