Attached is the Chinese name for SignWriting. Sorry the gif file is so large. I couldn't figure out how to reduce it. I'm on a different computer than the one I usually use and the paint program is an early version. The four characters, read left to right, are pronounced: Shou3 yu3 wen2 zi4 (the numbers are the tones). "Shou3yu3" means "sign language"; "wen2zi4" means "written characters" and is the term used to indicating the writing system of any language. Cheers! - Wayne Smith | ||||||||
