Text of the page (random words):
frica to measure this as part of the 2011 census needs update linguistic features edit this section needs attention from an expert in deaf the specific problem is the section contains practically nothing about the linguistics of sasl wikiproject deaf may be able to help recruit an expert may 2013 fingerspelling edit south african sign language one handed manual alphabet for fingerspelling fingerspelling is a manual technique of signing used to spell letters and numbers numerals cardinals therefore fingerspelling is a sign language technique for borrowing words from spoken languages as well as for spelling names of people places and objects it is a practical tool to refer to the written word some words which are often fingerspelled tend to become signs in their own right becoming frozen following linguistic transformation processes such as alphanumeric incorporation and abbreviation for instance one of the sign names for cape town uses incorporated fingerspelled letters c t transition from handshape for letter c to letter t of both wrists with rotation on an horizontal axis the month of july is often abbreviated as j l y fingerspelling words is not a substitute for using existing signs it takes longer to sign and it is harder to perceive if the fingerspelled word is a borrowing fingerspelling depends on both users having knowledge of the oral language english sotho afrikaans etc although proper names such as a person s name a company name are often fingerspelled it is often a temporary measure until the deaf community agrees on a sign name replacement sign names and idioms edit sign names are specific signs which are associated with proper names a location a person an organisation sign names are often chosen based on a salient physical property for instance the sign name for nelson mandela is signed using a flat b hand that follows a hair line over the head the sign name for the bank absa is made with both hands following the movement implied in the company corporate logo variation edit south africa is one of a few countries to have legal recognition of sign language 27 there is presumably some regional variation but signers from across the country can readily understand each other as demonstrated for example at the annual deaf forum it is commonly believed among south africans even among deaf south africans that different language communities have different sign languages this is evidently the result of the deaf not being able to understand sign language interpreters from other communities however this is because such interpreters do not actually use sign language but rather signed english signed xhosa etc and only those who have been schooled in these artificial codes can understand them see manually coded

noticeable influence in sign languages in the world including in south africa 28 in 1874 in cape town the first institution for the deaf called grimley institute for deaf and dumb was established by an irish deaf woman named bridget lynne 29 30 in 1881 in worcester de la bat school for the deaf was established from 1877 dominican sisters started to settle near durban in 1884 sister stephanie hanshuber from germany introduced the oral method in south africa 31 in 1888 king william s town convent school for the education of the deaf was formally opened since there is little historical evidence it is presumed that south african sign language has a mixture of the irish influence from the dominican irish nuns and british influence as well as the american influence sign language is the
