Thank you very much! đđ 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 Signwritingâs 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 âlinguist labâ 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.
