	USMARC Code List for Languages Sign Languages guidelines (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		The code is a general one used to indicate "sign language" in a generic sense.
		If the sole medium of communication is a sign language, e.g., a book containing pictures of the handshape of each letter of a particular sign system, or a videorecording that is signed, use the code for Sign languages in the fixed field.
		When the medium of communication includes a sign language or its representation as well as one or more other languages, judge whether the sign language or its representation is substantial.

	EBAE - RULE V-ANGLICIZED AND FOREIGN WORDS, ACCENT SIGN, DIPHTHONGS, FOREIGN LANGUAGES

		In foreign language grammars employing both English and foreign language passages, the special foreign accented letters should be used only in the foreign language portion.

	LINGUIST List 6.203: Endangered languages, International Sign Linguistics Asso.
		The aim of the organisation is to encourage and facilitate sign language research throughout the world and to develop international co-operation in the field of sign language studies.
		Linguistic analysis of human sign languages began in earnest in the late 1950s and 1960s.
		Sign language research has a lot to tell us about the nature of human languages: it may well provide crucial insights into the nature and type of language universals, the processes of language acquisition, the influence of medium on structure and many other topics.

	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.
		Most of the Sign Languages in the tables below can be identified by the country in which they are used, by appending the 2-letter country code from ISO 3166-1.
		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.

		Belgian sign language is very unlike the ASL, wich might be classed as a dialect of French sign language.
		I'm told that French sign language and Belgian sign language represent two very different early sign languages and that many of the world's sign languages can be classified as decendents of the one or the other.
		Hawaiian sign language just got in the Ethnologue about 15 years ago when a deaf driver got in a car accident and the ASL signer they brought in couldn't understand what she was signing.
