Oh, and a niche but potentially useful resource for any sign language is the signwriting script.

It includes non-manual markers, variations in signs based on context, and specialized punctuation.

“oh we shouldn’t teach children this language, it will only come in handy if they [checks notes] ever have to talk in a situation where it’s noisy or they need to be quiet”
