Sign_language |
 | | Many Australian Aboriginal sign languages arose in a context of extensive speech taboos, such as during mourning and initiation rites. |
 | | They are or were especially highly developed among the Warlpiri, Warumungu, Dieri, Kaytetye, Arrernte, Warlmanpa. |
 | | However, these are manually coded versions of the spoken languages, and are not used by the deaf. |
