University of Texas, Austin linguist Justin Po
19、wers and his colleagues aim to address that information gap.

The methods grouped
21、 sign languages in this study into five main European lineages(谱系). And those were Austrian origin, British origin, French origin, Spanish and Swedish. Power says manual alphabets from Austria, France and Spain could date back to one-handed manual alphabets from 16th- and 17th-century Spain. But eac
