Talk:BANZSL

BANZSL is not the name of the 'parent language' from which British, Australian and New Zealand Sign Language have developed. Instead, it is an alternative way of referring to these languages, by highlighting the fact that they might all be considered dialects of the one signed language (i.e., BANZSL). Trevor Johnston and I coined the term some years ago, and it has appeared in print (e.g., Johston 2003), but only in the latter sense, not the former. Adam Schembri, UCL.

Citation, please
When providing the percentages of similar and cognate signs between various signlangs, could someone please cite the reference with markup? I suspect that the correct cite for this entire paragraph would be McKee and Kennedy (2000), but don't have access to that reference to check it out. yoyo (talk) 17:00, 22 May 2009 (UTC)

This article may be subject to deletion
This article doesn't seem to indicate how widespread this "proposal" is, or who proposed it. If an editor researched or synthesized it, that is against WP policy. There seems to be only one reference, which is not sufficient to establish notability, another required WP policy. Unless I am mistaken, this article is subject to deletion unless it is improved.
