TitleFlemish Sign Language online
Body
Yesterday the first Flemish Sign Language - Dutch / Dutch - Flemish Sign
Language dictionary was launched. It is an on-line basic dictionary which
contains over 2000 Dutch entries and over 6000 signs from Flemish Sign
Language (VGT) (including regional variants). The signs can be read through
SignWriting and can be seen as moving pictures (although not all of the films
are ready yet; they are being added on a daily basis). You can search the
dictionary in two directions: from the Dutch written word or from the Flemish
Sign Language sign (with a search platform based on SignWriting).

At the moment everything is still in Dutch and/or VGT, but information in
English will be added shortly.

The website can be found at: http://gebaren.ugent.be and can be accessed
freely.
