Counting in Hong Kong Sign Language
Going through some videos on this holiday and came across this gem. It was locked away in Facebook Video but now I have liberated it for the masses (that means you) to watch.
Counting in Hong Kong Sign Language from Adam Stone on Vimeo.
It looks like people in Hong Kong don’t use BSL anymore; they use Chinese Sign Language now?
I’m not sure. I barely saw any BSL while traveling around town with my Hong Kong friends. I think they have always used Chinese (or Cantonese) sign language.
even during British time until 1997? Can you please ask your Hong Kong friends about that? Am curious to know. Thx.
awesome! I’ll show this to my math students
I have just visited your blog, read some of the posts, and would love to revisit, as I liked the simple manner in which you narrate the things.
being in China physically, i can confirm that this is a common Chinese number sign, even hearing people knows how.
