MEGHALAYA SIGN-LEX

Sign language uses a combination of hand movements or gestures and facial expressions, functioning as a visual-manual communication system of language unlike spoken languages, which rely on oral production of sounds.

Sign language standardization can take place naturally or may be enforced through a conscious effort to promote one's community. In the standardization process, community members establish, maintain, and decide conventional forms of language. Usually, the standardization process in spoken languages results in documentation of dictionaries accompanied by descriptive grammar that provides an understanding of the overall linguistic structure and similarly for sign languages.
