Author John by Sinosplice www.sinosplice.com It&#8217;s been a while since I last wrote about sign language, but some interesting YouTube videos by Alice (胡晓姝) recently pulled me back into it. Below is the video that I found most fascinating. It&#8217;s subtitled in Chinese, but worth a watch even if you don&#8217;t read Chinese. I&#8217;ll sum up the main points in English below the video. Before I list Alice&#8217;s main points, I need to first explain some background. In the video, Alice discusses the Chinese sign language counterparts of the Chinese words 聋哑人(literally, &#8220;deaf mute person&#8221;) and 聋人(&#8221;Deaf person&#8221;). The former is the most common way to refer to a Deaf person in Chinese, whereas the latter is the word many in the Chinese Deaf community wishes everyone would use. 哑巴is the word for &#8220;mute,&#8221; and it&#8217;s definitely not polite. Alice&#8217;s main points are: * The Deaf Chinese are used to using signs for &#8220;deaf-mute&#8221; (聋哑人) and &#8220;mute&#8221; (哑巴) but these signs are not respectful to Deaf people. * Overseas, Deaf communities stopped using the expression &#8220;deaf-mute&#8221; 20 years ago, and only China persists. * It was foreigners that appreciated that within the character for deaf, &#8220;聋,&#8221; is the character 龙, meaning &#8220;dragon,&#8221; a traditional mythological protector being. That&#8217;s pretty cool! * The traditional Chinese sign for &#8220;deaf-mute&#8221; (聋哑人) is loaded with negative connotations, but there is an international symbol for for &#8220;Deaf person&#8221; (聋人) that we should be using. * The word &#8220;deaf-mute&#8221; (聋哑人 <b>&#8230;</b></p>
