Hello SW List, Steve, and Alexandra Racek!

What a beautiful document, Alexandra. Thank you for sharing this with us. I agree with Steve, it is great to see Cued Speech written in SignWriting. And such a colorful document too. You did an excellent job.

Do I have your permission to post this PDF in our SignWriting PDF Archives on the SignWriting web site, in the SignWriting Library?

It will be a great addition to our PDF library…

Thank you once again for sharing, and Happy Holidays!

Val ;-)

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.
