ProvidenciaSignLanguage

ProvidenciaSignLanguage is a DeafSignLanguage of Colombia. SIL code: PRO. ISO 639-2: sgn. Population: Known by most people on the Island including 19 born deaf out of 2,500 to 3,000 population (1986 W. Washabaugh). Region: Providencia Island off the coast of Nicaragua. Comments: They have not been exposed to other sign languages. East differs from west with some variation between villages. The high deaf population is probably caused by in-breeding. The deaf are fairly well integrated into daily activities. The system is about 100 years old. They are illiterate and untutored, do not use finger spelling.(extract from http://www.ethnologue.com/)
