The
computer code for "Sign Language"
is "SGN". SignWriter
files use the .SGN extension.
For example, a file named "Hello",
is "Hello.SGN" in SignWriter 4.4.
But
what about computer codes for
individual Sign Languages?
Everson
Typography, working with the
Deaf Action Committee For SignWriting
and the Center
For Sutton Movement Writing,
acts as a registrar for Sign Language
extensions.
When
research provides positive information
regarding the uniqueness of a
Sign Language, the code for that
language is registered with The Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) and
noted on this page:
Implementing the ISO 639-2 code for Sign Languages
