@Merge_NZ Apologies, our understanding was that it was the third language to be officialised in NZ law. This was not intended to indicate rank or priority, however I apologise for doing so in wording it this way. I’ve since changed the description of our page.

There’s so much we can learn from one another, and language plays a key role in that process ❤️ let’s try our best to close the gaps between us #learnNZSL

#Language deprivation is a huge problem with #deaf #children being born with non-deaf parents! This can affect the child’s #learning and #functionality for the rest of their lives. #SignLanguage is essential for #parents to learn when they have a deaf #child. 🖖

NZSL has it's own unique grammar structure and dictionary (https://t.co/Hl3xftc9kC), but drills like this might be useful for memorizing the alphabet when just starting out 🙂Check our feed for info on where you can find NZSL classes & resources, both online and in Auckland city

New Zealand is the only country to have a sign language (NZ sign language) as one of the official languages. In 2006 NZSL became the third official language in the country alongside with English and Maori.
