Subject: IMLD, 2/21/05: Braille & sign languages
Date: Fri, 18 Feb 2005 13:57:41 -0000

The annual International Mother Language Day celebration this year has as a theme braille and sign languages used by blind and deaf people. I am aware that there are diverse traditional/indigenous sign language systems around the world (e.g., Hausa, Inuit), but are there different forms of braille writing or "symbols" used traditionally among diverse cultures for communication with/among the blind?

Some more info on IMLD and links are appended.

TIA... DZO
