Examples of Notation of Danish Deaf Sign Language
This booklet shows my first attempt at writing sign language -  transcribed from a video, in 1974, 1975 and 1976 at the University of Copenhagen. The writing system has changed enormously?. which is really interesting -

I propose, that if your students want to see how SignWriting has changed, then let?s take sentences from this old historic document, and re-write the sentences in our current way of writing and then compare the differences. I am happy to help with this project, but I need your input and participation here on the SignWriting List?

Will this be helpful for your student, Honza? Ask me questions. Tell me what you want to know...

Val ;-)
