Sign Language
Have u ever wondered? how this world would have been if our ability to speak is snatched from us?...Well, then but obvious, we would have to use another means to communicate aka use " sign -language".Let's get into the detail's . A sign language (also signed language) is a language which, instead of acoustically conveyed sound patterns, uses visually transmitted sign patterns (manual communication, body language and lip patterns) to convey meaning—simultaneously combining hand shapes, orientation and movement of the hands, arms or body, and facial expressions to express fluidly a speaker's thoughts. Sign languages commonly 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.There r basically two types of sign language: 1.British accent.2. American accent.We, Indians generally follow British one.Each alphabete is spelled using special movement of hands.Suppose, u wanna say H, then just move your right palm over your left. It makes a swish sound.Likewise, different ways to spell different alphabetes..There have been several notable examples of scientists teaching non-human primates basic signs in order to communicate with humans.Notable examples are:-Chimpanzees: Washoe and LoulisGorillas: Michael and Koko.There are many organisations in INDIA that work for the underpriviliged children.One that I know is "Dilkhush" in Bandra, Mumbai.One really faces the emotional turmoil when one sees those kids fighting with destiny yet keep on smiling :).It really teaches us a lot..When those kids can fight with odds, why can't we?I think we all should make it a point ,by our small means, to make adifference in their life..Comment your views on it..
