in other words-is there signing for say russian and chinese and japanese ,spanish and so on? or if your say american and say you go to japan and meet another person who uses sign language..will you beable to communicate?
i am sure the two will be able to communicate so the point is..wouldn't that make sign language THE UNIVERSAL LANGUAGE? and if so why isn't it taught more?
when i realised this question ...it made me think as well. that learning to sign would be very very very useful. its easy to learn and should be on all military and foreign diplomats TO DO LISTS.

i don't know. but i mean come on how much different can a sign for smile be in that many languages? so i don't know but i would think that no would be the answer..but to some degree i think they'd understand each other a lot more than people who actually speak a language. simply because these people use signals to communicate-and that makes sense.
