  Title: Salvadoran Sign Language
  Passage: Salvadoran Sign language is a language used by the deaf community in El Salvador.  Its main purpose is to provide education.  There are three distinct forms of sign language.  American Sign Language was brought over to El Salvador from the United States by missionaries who set up small communal schools for the deaf.  The government has also created a school for the deaf, teaching by means of their own modified Salvadoran Sign Language.  The third type of sign language used is a combination of American Sign Language and Salvadoran Sign language.  Most deaf understand and rely upon both.  Their own unique Salvidoran Sign language is based on their language and is most useful in regular encounters; however, American Sign Language is often relied on within education due to the larger and more specific vocabulary.  This is the reason that the deaf community within El Salvador sometimes relies upon both ASL and SSL in a combined form.

  Title: Hong Kong Sign Language
  Passage: Hong Kong Sign Language (香港手語), or HKSL, is the deaf sign language of Hong Kong.

  Title: Stokoe notation
  Passage: Stokoe notation is the first phonemic script used for sign languages.  It was created by William Stokoe for American Sign Language (ASL), with Latin letters and numerals used for the shapes they have in fingerspelling, and iconic glyphs to transcribe the position, movement, and orientation of the hands.  It was first published as the organizing principle of "Sign Language Structure: An Outline of the Visual Communication Systems of the American Deaf" (1960), and later also used in "A Dictionary of American Sign Language on Linguistic Principles," by Stokoe "et al." (1965).  In the 1965 dictionary, signs are themselves arranged alphabetically, according to their Stokoe transcription, rather than being ordered by their English glosses as in other sign-language dictionaries.  This made it the only ASL dictionary where the reader could look up a sign without first knowing how to translate it into English.  The Stokoe notation was later adapted to British Sign Language (BSL) in Kyle et al. (1985) and to Australian Aboriginal sign languages in Kendon (1988).  In each case the researchers modified the alphabet to accommodate phonemes not found in ASL.

  Title: Sweet Nothing in my Ear (play)
  Passage: Sweet Nothing in my Ear is a play in two acts for 4 men, 5 women, and 1 boy.  "This is not a "deaf" play.  It's a play with deaf and hearing characters.  In performance, it must be accessible to both a deaf and hearing audience at the same time.  It requires a seamless blend of American Sign Language and spoken English.  The two happen simultaneously through the performance of the play.  The role of Dan requires a hearing actor who signs well.  As a hearing man in a deaf family, he is called upon to interpret speech into sign language, "voice" ASL into speech, or switch his voice off completely and purely sign.  Whenever Dan is alone with any member of his deaf family, he would only sign and not use his voice (unless indicated).  All the deaf characters of the play - Laura, Max, Sally, Adam, Dr. Walters - use only American Sign Language.  They are simultaneously "voiced" or "voice acted" from the side of the stage by a member of the company.  When Dan switches off his voice and purely signs, he is simultaneously "voiced" by a company member.  The company must be four hearing actors who sign.  They sit on the periphery of the stage, never leaving, throughout the play.  They perform three functions: to "voice" the actors who sign, to sign the actors who speak and to step forward as the supporting players.  Deaf audience member experience this play signed entirely in their language.  Hearing audience members - most who know nothing about sign language - have the experience of watching the play in sign language while hearing it acted at the same time.  Two languages become one."  - Stephen Sachs
