Oneida Sign Language
Indigenous sign language isolate
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Oneida Sign Language (OSL) is a revived language with roots in Hand Talk mixed with American Sign Language and the oral Oneida language. Alongside Elder Olive Elm, Deaf Elders in the Turtle and Bear Clans—Marsha and Max Ireland, respectively, of the Oneida Nation of the Thames—have worked since 2016 to build and support the growth of OSL.[1][2][3]
