Old Chiangmai–Bangkok Sign Language Family
The Old Chiangmai–Bangkok Sign Language family is a language family of two related sign languages: Old Chiangmai Sign Language and Old Bangkok Sign Language. Woodward (2003) found that they were 65% cognate, indicating that the two languages are related, possibly due to migration between Chiangmai and Bangkok. There appear to be connections to sign languages of Vietnam (especially to Hai Phong Sign Language), and possibly Laotian sign languages, but the nature of these connections (whether areal or genetic) has not been determined. Village sign languages of Thailand, such as Ban Khor Sign Language Ban Khor Sign Language (BKSL; ) is a village sign language used by at least 400 people of a rice-farming community in the village of Ban Khor in a remote area of Isan (northeastern Thailand). Known locally as ''pasa kidd'' ('language of the mute ..., are unrelated. References {{DEFAULTSORT:Old Chiangmai-Bangkok Sign Language family Thailand Sign Language family Sign l ...

Deaf-community Sign Language
A deaf-community or urban sign language is a sign language that emerges when deaf people who do not have a common language come together and form a community. This may be a formal situation, such as the establishment of a school for deaf students, or informal, such as migration to cities for employment and the subsequent gathering of deaf people for social purposes. An example of the first is Nicaraguan Sign Language, which emerged when deaf children in Nicaragua were brought together for the first time, and received only oral education; of the latter, Bamako Sign Language, which emerged among the tea circles of the uneducated deaf in the capital of Mali. Nicaraguan SL is now a language of instruction and is recognized as the national sign language; Bamako SL is not, and is threatened by the use of American Sign Language in schools for the deaf. Deaf-community sign languages contrast with village sign language in that they tend to be used only by the deaf, at least at first, and ...

Chiang Mai, sometimes written as Chiengmai or Chiangmai, is the largest city in northern Thailand, the capital of Chiang Mai province and the List of municipalities in Thailand#Largest cities by urban population, second largest city in Thailand. It is north of Bangkok in a mountainous region called the Thai highlands and has a population of approximately 127,000 within the city municipality, as of 2023.

Thai Sign Language
Thai Sign Language (TSL; ), or Modern Standard Thai Sign Language (MSTSL), is the national sign language of Thailand's deaf community and is used in most parts of the country by the 20 percent of the estimated 56,000 pre-linguistically deaf people who go to school. Thai Sign Language is related to American Sign Language (ASL), and belongs to the same language family as ASL.Woodward, James C. (1996). ''Modern Standard Thai Sign Language, influence from ASL, and its relationship to original Thai sign varieties.'' ''Sign Language Studies'' 92:227–52. (see p 245) This relatedness is due to language contact and creole language, creolisation that has occurred between ASL, which was introduced into Deaf education, deaf schools in Thailand in the 1950s by American-trained Thai educators, and at least two indigenous sign languages that were in use at the time: Old Bangkok Sign Language and Chiangmai Sign Language. These original sign languages probably developed in market towns and urban ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
