Taiwan
. SIL code: TSS. ISO 639-2: sgn. Population: 30,000 users (1986 Gallaudet Univ.). Alternate names: ZIRAN SHOUYU. Dialects: TAIPEI, TAINAN. Comments: 2 major dialects. The sources from which the sign language developed were indigenous sign systems before 1895, Japanese occupation and education 1895-1946, Mainland Chinese Sign Language brought by refugees in 1949 and some from Hong Kong since. 50% lexical similarity with Japanese Sign Language.
