		Sign languages are not pantomime, and they are not a visual rendition of an oral language.
		Sign words in sign language systems are sometimes developed within a single family.

		A sign language (also 'signed language') is a language which uses manual communication instead of sound to convey meaning - simultaneously combining handshapes, orientation and movement of the hands, arms or body, and facial expressions to fluidly express a speaker's thoughts.
		Sign languages develop in deaf communities, which can include interpreters and friends and families of deaf people as well as people who are deaf or hard of hearing themselves.

		Professional linguists have studied many sign languages and found them to have every linguistic component required to be classed as a true language.
		To say that a signed language is not a true language because it uses fingerspelling is akin to saying that English is not a true language because it contains onomatopoeic words.
		The only sign language writing system which has been actually used by deaf people to write, is SignWriting, which rather than being developed by a linguist was devised by a dancer.

		A sign language is a language which uses gestures instead of sound to convey meaning - combining handshapes, orientation and movement of the hands, arms or body, facial expressions and lip-patterns.
		Sign languages are usually developed in deaf communities, which include interpreters and friends and families of deaf people as well as people who are deaf or hearing-impaired themselves.

	Warlpiri Sign Language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Warlpiri Sign Language is a sign language used by the Warlpiri, an Aboriginal community in the central desert region of Australia.
		While many neighbouring language groups such as Arrernte and the Western Desert Language have auxiliary sign languages, Warlpiri Sign Language, along with Warumungu Sign Language, appears to be the most well developed and widely used — it is as complete a system of communication as spoken Warlpiri.
		British linguist Adam Kendon (1988) argues that Warlpiri Sign Language is best understood as a manual representation of the spoken Warlpiri language (a "Manually Coded Language"), rather than a separate language; individual signs represent morphemes from spoken Warlpiri, which are expressed in the same word order as the spoken language.

		In much the same way that geographical or cultural forces will isolate populations and lead to the generation of different and distinct spoken languages, the same forces operate on sign languages and so they tend to maintain their identities through time in roughly the same areas of influence as the local spoken tongues.
		In linguistic terms, sign languages are as rich and complex as any oral language, despite the common misconception that they are not "real languages".
		A common misconception is that sign languages are somehow dependent on oral languages, that is, that they are oral language spelled out in gesture, or that they were invented by hearing people.

	Without Miracles: The Development and Functioning of Thought
		Language allows people to share their experiences, successes, and failures with others, making it possible for knowledge to be shared among the members of a community.
		And language, both spoken and written, appears essential for the development of science and technology in that it allows individuals to make their ideas and theories public and thus subject to both the skepticism and further development of their peers.
		We already mentioned the use of language to coordinate human activity, and it is not difficult to imagine how the ability to plan and coordinate hunting, agricultural, and warfare activities would have conferred survival advantages to individuals and groups with language skills.

		It's sad but true that many very smart people, having apprehended a smidgin of iconism in their native language, have in all haste and seriousness drawn precisely the same conclusion.) In part, I think the reason for the failure to acknowledge the existence of linguistic iconism probably lies in the relative inaccessibility of the data.
		It was mentioned that basic words in a language often form the focus around which other words cluster by Phonosemantic Association.
