Shared signs at the 5th African Sign Languages Workshop
INTERNATIONAL SIGN means a form of contact signing that is used by deaf signers in international communications. Its form depends on the linguistic background of the signers involved. As many of us are mostly working in Africa, this contact signing is likely to be influenced by sign languages used in Africa.
