Taiwanese Sign Language or TSL () is the deaf sign language most commonly used in Taiwan. ==History== The beginnings of Taiwan Sign Language date from 1895.〔Fischer, Susan ''et al.'' (2010). "Variation in East Asian Sign Language Structures" in 〕 The origins of TSL developed from Japanese Sign Language during Japanese rule. TSL is considered part of the Japanese Sign Language family.〔Fischer, 〕 TSL has some mutual intelligibility with both Japanese Sign Language and Korean Sign Language; it has about a 60% lexical similarity with JSL.〔 There are two main dialects of TSL centered around two of the three major sign language schools in Taiwan: one in Taipei, the other in Tainan City (the Taichung school used a sign language essentially the same as the Tainan school). After the retrocession of Taiwan to the ROC, Taiwan absorbed an influx of Chinese Sign Language users from mainland China who influenced TSL through teaching methods and loanwords.〔 Serious linguistic research on TSL began in the 1970s and is continuing at present. The first International Symposium on Taiwan Sign Language Linguistics was held on March 1–2, 2003, at National Chung Cheng University in Minxiong, Chiayi, Taiwan. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Taiwanese Sign Language」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
