[Sw-l] SignWriting used for Cued Speech in multiple languages

Hi SW List,

I just came across a document I made back in late 2018. I summarized cued
speech charts I could find online for multiple languages, and wrote them in
the SignWriting script (and the International Phonetic Alphabet). I
compiled this document to the best of my ability since I do not know all of
these languages. Let me know if you find any errors.

*Cued Speech is a mode of communication which combines a small number of
simple hand cues with the natural mouth movements of speech to make the
sounds or “phonemes” of spoken language clear through vision alone*
(definition taken from https://cuecollege.org/). It is a way of making
spoken languages accessible visually, but it is not a replacement for sign
languages. It is however a nice tool for bimodal bilingualism.

Attached are the summary of the cued speech charts in SignWriting (PDF),
and the SignMaker dictionary I used to write the symbols (text file).

*Alexandra Racek*, Quebec, Canada
*LSQ (Quebec Sign Language) + ASL + French + English*
