Thank you Adam, Kim and Val! I'm asking mainly because it is unclear to me who uses vertical and horizontal. I can see that in Brazil they use horizontal ? Or maybe the bible excerpts are old? http://www.signwriting.org/archive/docs5/sw0459-BRBible-Textos-Biblicos-LIBRAS.pdf also Spanish sign language - there are stories in vertical writing here. http://www.signwriting.org/library/children/ thanks everyone...look forward to more answers.. maria > SignWriting List > June 1, 2012 > > Hello Maria and everyone - > Perhaps you would be interested in reading Steve Slevinski's interview, > which mentions the different reasons for writing vertically and > horizontally.
