Region: Sao Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Minas Gerais, Santa Catarina, and elsewhere. Alternate names: LSB, SAO PAULO SIGN LANGUAGE. Comments: The dialects appear to be inherently intelligible, although northern dialects above the Amazon are probably more different. Some relationship to North American and European sign languages. The fingerspelling used for proper names is similar to a European system. The first deaf school was begun in 1857 in Rio de Janeiro, then one in Porto Alegre. The deaf in Sao Paulo generally receive an oralist education. TV.(extract from http://www.ethnologue.com/)
