Argentine Sign Language

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Argentine Sign Language (ISO/DIS 639-3: aed) is used in Argentina where there are around two million deaf people. Deaf people attend separate schools, and use local sign languages out of class. A manual alphabet for spelling Spanish has been developed. Sign language is usually banned in the classroom, due to the belief that allowing deaf children to sign would hinder their ability to communicate with hearing people.
