@betaburns @livatoseus@ireland@Ournewears international Sign (IS) is a contact variety of sign language used in a variety of different contexts, particularly at international meetings. Seen as a pidgin form of sign language, which is not as conventionalised or complex as natural sign languages, it has a limited lexicon.
A new chapter in Irish history - Irish Sign Language is to be finally recognised as it passes the final stage in the Dáil this Thursday. Congratulations to all who played a part.
