Classification
Clark[3] notes that Peruvian, Bolivian, Ecuadorian and Colombian sign languages "have significant lexical similarities to each other" and "contain a certain degree of lexical influence from ASL" as well, at least going by the forms in national dictionaries. Chilean and Argentinian share these traits, though to a lesser extent.
gollark: No, I mean it's probably somewhat vaguely defined.
gollark: I think the definition is fuzzy, but probably heart/brain activity stopping.
gollark: Apparently they may work a bit at reducing the severity if you do get it, due to lower viral load or something.
gollark: Ah.
gollark: So if you don't exist, how did you verify your email?

^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. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
