I'm very shocked to find that this article has been deleted. Just a few weeks ago, I read a few paragraphs about it in an interview with Sandra Schweder in the magazine Kontakto (issue #197, 2003:5) on page 10 in the article entitled "Surdeco estas ne malsano, sed trajto de propra surdula komunumo" [Deafness is not a sickness, but a trait of the deaf community]. Kontakto is a bi-monthly publication of TEJO. --Chuck SMITH 21:25, 18 Dec 2003 (UTC)

  • Signuno -- the third completely obscure homemade conlang I encountered in the past 5 months! It has about 200 hits [1]. It is described at Gestuno (with 2000 Google hits), as a conlang "about which we still do not know very much at this stage". --Menchi (Talk)â 14:23, 12 Dec 2003 (UTC)
    • Delete. Daniel Quinlan 08:51, Dec 13, 2003 (UTC)
    • Deleted, but Gestuno should be rewritten to take this into account. --Delirium 02:18, Dec 17, 2003 (UTC)
    • Gestuno rewritten. Secretlondon 11:37, Dec 18, 2003 (UTC)
    • Rewritten. See my comment at Talk:Signuno. Chuck SMITH
    • Verifiable. I say keep. The page history should be restored as well. Angela. 11:09, 19 Dec 2003 (UTC)
    • Didn't see the original but what's there now seems legit to me, and distinct enough to be separate from Gestuno. It's not the most obscure thing on the 'pedia. I don't want to put it on VfU myself, not having seen it. Tualha 14:33, 19 Dec 2003 (UTC)

[edit] need to verify

I need to verify my claims about the origins of the letters. I no longer remember much about the European manual alphabets, though I'm pretty sure Signuno Z occurs in none of them. kwami 12:03, 2005 May 14 (UTC)

Okay, they're Irish - knew there was something familiar about that P!

[edit] Q

It says that q is derived from Irish or something, but EO doesn't have a q. What's going on?Cameron Nedland 14:06, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

Don't specifically recall, but I assume it was an Irish SL sign for Q as an alien letter, much as it is in Signuno itself, or as K is in Italian. kwami 18:25, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
Okay, thanks.Cameron Nedland 23:21, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
