Kia Ora Bloggers and welcome back to my blog,
As you know we have tec on Wednesdays, so while we have spare time we focus on something different every week, as you should know this week is signed lanugue week, here is some history about sign laungue, NZSL became an official language in New Zealand in April 2006. New Zealand Sign Language is based on British Sign Language (BSL), and some consider it a dialect or a combination of British, Australian and New Zealand Sign Language. There are 62.5% similarities found in British Sign Language and NZSL, compared with 33% of NZSL signs found in American Sign Language. NZSL uses the same 2 handed manual alphabet as British and Auslan.NZSL was created by Deaf people for Deaf people. The language was created with no connection to the spoken or written word.NZSL became an official New Zealand language in April 2006. The parliamentary bill to approve was passed on April 6, 2006. The bill was formalised, on 10 April 2006. Here is a video of me signing my name.
I have technical difficulties so I will try and upload the video later
