The Making of the Shillong Sign Language Multimedia Lexicon (ShSL MML)
Wallang, Melissa G.
Sign Language Studies, v15 n3 p296-321 Spr 2015
Despite the fact that Indian Sign Language (ISL) has a significant influence on the native signers in northeastern India, no studies of ISL have yet taken into account the nature of the sign languages in use in this region. This article examines the emergence of both Shillong Sign Language and the Deaf community of Shillong and discusses the development of the Shillong Sign Language Multimedia Lexicon (ShSL MML).
