OK , without sounding crass or insensitive , does anyone know if 'sign language' is international , e.g. can an English sign user communicate with say a French , Italian , Arabic or Chinese sign user , or are the 'sign languages' different ?
completly innocent question , no other motives , just something I am completly ignorant about , It was something I noticed when at the Airport earlier today and 'saw' some 'interaction ' between two different groups , one American and the other a group arriving on an international flight .
Thanks
