Classification
Wittmann (1991)[4] posits that SSL is a language isolate (a 'prototype' sign language), though one developed through stimulus diffusion from an existing sign language.
gollark: i.e. in case of a Krist outage, there may be transaction consistency issues, but that's really unlikely because then you couldn't pay the shop.
gollark: I am not certain that the error handling is particularly reliable, though.
gollark: It looks that way, anyway.
gollark: Interesting, special-casing for a certain address... I *think* that's just so chervil's shops don't doubletransact...
gollark: Yes, a bit higher.

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