	Gestuno language - FreeEncyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		Gestuno is a constructed sign language, which the World Congress of the World Federation of the Deaf originally discussed in 1951.
		The name "Gestuno" is from Italian, meaning "the unity of sign languages." Some deaf people use Gestuno at the World Games for the Deaf and the Deaf Way Conference and Festival in Washington, DC, but besides that its use is very limited.
		There is another competing international sign language project called Signuno[?], which is a combination of Gestuno and the international auxilliary spoken language, Esperanto.

	Constructed language
		An artificial or constructed language is a language whose vocabulary and grammar were specifically devised by humans, rather than having naturally evolved as part of a culture like a natural language.
		Constructed languages are often divided into a priori languages, in which much of the grammar and vocabulary is created from scratch to serve a particular purpose, and a posteriori languages, where the grammar and vocabulary are derived from one or more natural languages and are intended to resemble them.
		A posteriori languages can be further divided into naturalistic planned languages which follow the natural languages from which they are patterned closely to minimize learning time, and schematic planned languages, whose features are deliberately simplified or synthesized from various sources.

	International Sign - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		International Sign (IS) (also Gestuno, International Sign Language (ISL) and International Gesture (IG)) is an international auxiliary language sometimes used by deaf people at global forums such as the World Federation of the Deaf (WFD), international events such as the Deaflympic games, and informally when travelling and socialising.
		The name "Gestuno" was chosen from Italian, meaning "the unity of sign languages", but the name has fallen out of use in favor of the phrase "International Sign".
		While influenced by International Sign vocabulary and concepts, it is a natural spontaneous occurrence rather than a planned language, and is still in its infancy.

	Gestuno Origins (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		International Sign Language (Gestuno) is a constructed sign language, which the World Congress of the World Federation of the Deaf originally discussed in 1951.
		Just as there are languages in the world, there are thousands upon thousands of different signed languages, each with its own "accent" and "dialect." Every different sign language is a reflection of its past, the culture in which it expanded, and the mores of its society.
		Gestuno is still used at the World Games for the Deaf and at the DEAF WAY Conference and Festival in Washington, D.C., but other than that, its use is very limited.

	Gestuno principles (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		Remember that IG is not a language but a negotiated communication system so one needs to be flexible.
		Languages reflect culture, so signs/gestures should be picked that are as cross-cultural as possible.
		Before the sign is given, if there is a likelihood that the audience will not recognize what country is being referred to, or if a specific city, state, county, or province is being referred to, the place is indexed on a classifier that represents that region.

	ASL - American Sign Language

		It is thought that native sign language of Chilmark and Tisbury, the Martha's Vineyard communities with an unusual high incidence of hereditary deafness, evolved from Old Kentish Sign Language, as the earliest deaf settlers came from the Kentish region of England.
