Monastic sign language was not meant for the deaf and was only used
to keep periods of scilenceVery little words other than nouns; Most lists had a handful of verbs and adjectivesSign language was used by the deaf, but wasn't widely used and varied between people.
A larger use was for secret communicationIt looked a lot like what it does today, with modifiers
and conjunctions, but with a small vocabulary; alphabet
developedGreat shift all over the world seeing deafness as
an illness instead of a product of being dumbSign language and its alphabet are standardized to what they are today, where every
word in English could be said in sign languageSign language is used by almost every deaf person as a means of communicationDevelopment of deaf
communities in New England
like Martha's Vineyard, Henniker
and the Sandy River ValleySign language as something used
by hands suppressed because
many believed learning how to
read lips and talk was superior
