Nicaraguan Sign Language (Paperback)

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Nicaraguan Sign Language (ISN; Spanish: Idioma de Se as de Nicaragua, Portuguese: Idioma de Signos Nicarag ense) is a signed language spontaneously developed by deaf children in a number of schools in western Nicaragua in the 1970s and 1980s. It is of particular interest to the linguists who study it, because it offers a unique opportunity to study what they believe to be the birth of a new language.
