Hoi, The language committee would like to approve this request. Sign languages are recognised as languages by the ISO. There are only technical obstacles that prevent the creation of an ase.wikipedia.org These are things that can be solved one way or another.
NB When this is the time that we define what is on the back of the Wikipedia globe, excluding SingWriting now means that it is excluded for ever. Thanks, GerardM

Hoi, PLEASE have one of the characters be one in SignWriting.. SignWriting
allows
you to write any of the many sign languages... I would like to include
the
"thank you" sign in American Sign Language... NB SignWriting is
recognised
in the ISO 15924 Sgnw. There is a request for a Wikipedia in American
Sign
Language..
The ASL "thank you" sign can be found on the last page of my presentation
at
Wikimania 2008.
I second this request. However, I would like to hear what the language subcom has to say about the issue. It seems like it would cause hurt feelings and mixed messages if we include SignWriting on the logo but do not approve the SignWriting wikipedia.
I dont mean to put the languages subcom on the spot here, but I hope they understand my reservations.
