	Adamorobe Sign Language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Adamorobe Sign Language (AdaSL) is an indigenous sign language used in Adamorobe, an Akan village in eastern Ghana.
		The Adamorobe community is notable for its unusually high incidence of hereditary deafness (genetic recessive autosome), estimated at 2% ot the total population (Nyst), or 15% according to Ethnologue.
		AdaSL shares signs and prosodic features with some other sign languages in the region, but it has been suggested these similarities are due to culturally shared gestures rather than a genetic relationship.

		Language families can be divided into smaller phylogenetic units, conventionally referred to as branches of the family, because the history of a language family is often represented as a tree diagram.
		Languages that cannot be reliably classified into any family are known as language isolates.
		A language isolated in its own branch within a family, such as Greek within Indo-European, is often also called an isolate, but such cases are usually clarified.

	Implementing the ISO 639-2 code for Sign Languages
		Linguists have long recognized that Sign Languages are true languages, and the world's Sign Languages, used by Deaf and hearing people, have been provided with an identifying code in ISO 639-2, the International Standard which specifies 3-letter codes to identify the names of languages.
		When Evertype, as a registrar for Sign Language extensions, has positive information regarding the uniqueness of a Sign Language, the code is registered with IETF and noted here in Table A. The remaining codes (in Table B) must be considered provisional until they are verified by experts.
		It is being tested in schools and appears to raise literacy levels of born-deaf children, by providing a written base for their native (signed) language and the written (spoken) language of the majority in the countries in which they live.

	Proposed ISO 639-2 code for Sign Languages
		Although linguists have for decades recognized them as true languages, the world's Sign Languages, used by Deaf and hearing people, were overlooked during the drafting of ISO 639-2, the standard which specifies 3-letter codes to identify the names of languages.
		It is here proposed that a single 3-letter code, sgn, for Sign Languages be added to ISO 639-2, and that, as necessary, other codes be appended to that code to specify different Sign Languages.
		A number of them require additionally one of the regional extensions specified in ISO 3166-2; some extensions are language codes taken from the Bibliographical codes found in in ISO 639-2 where further precision is required, such as where more than one Sign Language occurs in a country.
