Interpreters are wizards – at times they seem to have read my mind. AI could never compete ♥️ https://t.co/CrgaJlubtt

As my deaf colleague @linasigns says:
"Don’t forget that signed languages cannot be separated from deaf people. Please consider citing the works of deaf, deafblind, and deafdisabled linguists, scholars, and activists at least. Read our work, invite us to present, talk to us!"

Happy #IWDP and #IDSL! 🤟🌍🎉
Sign language is a rich expression of culture and identity that unites the deaf community worldwide. Let's celebrate the rich tapestry of sign language and the diverse voices within the Deaf community!

Today is International Day of Sign Languages.

We believe our strength is in diversity and sign languages are part of it.

Our initiatives under #EUDisabilityRights Strategy like #EUDisabilityCard will help ensure rights of people with hearing impairment.

Work with sign language corpora is exciting and important, making small languages visible for the world. Working together with the language community is essential for the work progress. Team members, Karin Hoyer and Lena Wenman tells some about the Finland-Swedish SL corpora (FB)

Det var upplyftande med flera presentationer av pågående forskning med finlandssvenskt teckenspråk i fokus. Så mycket positivt och spännande, fina diskussioner! Det finns sedan att se på @Teckeneko för den som missade detta. Tack @fstdova för arrangemanget, bra i Svenska veckan!

[viittomakielenkeskus @VKK_JY]

I går anordnades en forskningsdag om finlandssvenskt teckenspråk i Helsingfors. Vi berättade om vårt korpusarbete. Tack för de fina arrangemangen och samarbete! @Kintopf @Teckeneko @lenawenman @fstdova @HannaCLindberg och också andra! Glad svensk dag 6.11. #teckenspråk #forskning

Glad internationella dagen för äldre personer! Årets tema är digitalt likabehandling med vad man vill ta fram hur samhällets digitalisering påverkar äldre personer och påminna att äldre personer har en jämlik rätt till digitala tjänster.

@OutiAhonen @nijosivu @USivunen @ISeilola Grattis, spännande få veta mer, snart?

[European Commission @EU_Commission]

Did you know that there are 30 national sign languages in the EU?

And do you know international sign?
It's a communication tool which enables communication between different national sign language users.

SOTEU could have been translated into IS beforehand, just like other languages in the European Parliament, to ensure everybody will get access to this speech?! @EUD @EU_Commission @EUInterpreters #accessibility #1ntSL
