Classification
Wittmann (1991)[2] posits that ArSL is a language isolate (a 'prototype' sign language).
gollark: No.
gollark: Maybe I should petition to be a diode atheist and have a transistor cult.
gollark: ... so you can make a transistor out of several diodes, then, or...?
gollark: I don't believe in this "diode cult". It doesn't actually exist.
gollark: Diodes aren't real. Every time current happens to flow the way a diode "permits", it's just coincidence.

^a Sign-language names reflect the region of origin. Natural sign languages are not related to the spoken language used in the same region. For example, French Sign Language originated in France, but is not related to French. Conversely, ASL and BSL both originated in English-speaking countries but are not related to each other; ASL however is related to French Sign Language.
^b Denotes the number (if known) of languages within the family. No further information is given on these languages. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
