Maltese Sign Language
text:
Maltese Sign Language is a young sign language of Malta. It developed into its modern form c. 1980 with the establishment of the first deaf club in Malta and subsequently with its use in education for the deaf. LSM's prior history is unrecorded, though there are some signs which indicate contact with British Sign Language. These signs are relatively few, however, and LSM is not part of the BSL family. Maria Galea has described the use of SignWriting when used to write Maltese Sign Language. The
