		There is another competing international sign language project called Signuno[?], which is a combination of Gestuno and the international auxilliary spoken language, Esperanto.

		An "artificial" international vocabulary, "Gestuno," which functions as a kind of visual Eperanto, was developed in the mid-70s by the Commission of Unification of Signs of the World Federation of the Deaf.
		American Deaf performers were specially drilled in Gestuno, and used it to introduce acts and give simple communications to the audience - "Welcome, ladies and gentlemen;" "No smoking, please;" "I hope you enjoy our show."
