Proper noun
Meaning
BANZSL
Acronym of British, Australian, and New Zealand Sign Language.
Examples
These three languages may technically be considered dialects of a single language ( BANZSL ) due to their use of the same grammar and manual alphabet and the high degree of lexical sharing (overlap of signs).
Some of the letters are represented by iconic shapes, and in the BANZSL languages the vowels are represented by pointing to the fingertips.
The term BANZSL was coined by Trevor Johnston Johnston, T. (2002).
