It was renamed International Sign, to my knowledge. But either way brings up links and information.

Gestuno

Gestuno is to Deaf as Esperanto is to Hearing.

...ugh, it's an artificial language.
Some people are really into those but I prefer languages that have been refined and molded by the people who use it..

Part of my Deaf studies program was learning Gestures. It was a bit of I.S., but it was more acting out situations. Wish we'd done more I.S. , it could come in handy.
