“Is sign language common all over the world? If it is a common language what grammar is used; English or Japanese? Is the sign language expressing sounds: like A, I, U, E and O? Or is it expressing words?”
I didn’t know about sign language. So I had a lot of questions about it, so I checked it on the internet.
According to the Wikipedia, there is no common sign language in the world. Each country has their own sign language and their own dialect.
And people who use sign language are also using parts of their faces. The facial region becomes an important grammatical element － The eyes, the eyebrow, the cheek, the mouth, the tongue, and the neck are inclined and shake it, stick the chin out or not －. It expresses an order or an interrogative sentence by using them.
The Japanese sign language expresses both sounds and words. Actually, it’s sign language expresses only words. The sounds are expressed by finger spelling.
I think a talkative person might move very fast while a person with hot temper might move strongly. And a slow person must move slowly. Their movements might express their personal characters.
