[edit] an Alphabet?
In which Sense is SSW an Alphabeth? Okay, if you define a sign as combination of Hold and Movement and mirror Hold to vowels and Movement to consonants, you can maybe interpret it like that, but Pictographic or Manual or Other would fit maaybe even better, wouldn't they? -- 89.166.166.232 22:27, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
- It is alphabetic in that it expresses all of the "phonemes" of Sign Language: hand positions, eyebrow positions, motion, etc. It is not pictographic by any means. Sign Language is not mime. -- Evertype·✆ 23:17, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
