In the SignMorph team, team members use or understand BSL, ASL, LGP, Israeli SL, KQSL, Nepali SL, IS, English, Arabic, Hebrew, Nepali, French, and Portuguese! Happy #InternationalDayofMultilingualism!
Today we celebrate the #InternationalDayofMultilingualism! 🙌🏾 The 30 national sign languages of the EU enhance the richness & diversity of the EU's multilingualism - so it's time for them to receive legal recognition at the EU level on an equal level to the spoken languages‼️

This year, in some European countries the King/Queen/PM speech on Christmas or New Year have been delivered with a deaf interpreter. A very important act that recognises the value of the deaf interpreter profession. 🧵

@ASLIuk as a whole benefits from having deaf representation on the Board. We need a truly representative mix of people on our Board to set the direction and culture of our Association. Thank you @BSLTranslator for raising this at #DINConference2023
