[Tuệ Đinh Cao]

Thank you very much! 😊😊 Personally, I find Signwriting is a very
inspiring creation because it gives the deaf community a tool to express
themselves truthfully and confidently through writing. While Signwriting’s
learning curve is steep and there are many other ways to copy signed
languages down on paper, Signwriting, I feel, breaks from the confines of a
so-called “linguist lab” and to more deaf communities around the world,
perhaps due to the number of materials that people can use to study
Signwriting as well as its visual impact.
