Sustaining Digital Language Resources and Sign Language	2020	13	.pdf	application/pdf	6156	287	51	Although the United Nations Convention on Rights of Person with Disability advocate for formal recognition of sign languages (see Batterbury, 2012) yet in the RPWD Act, (2016) sign language is still being reflected under the ‘augmentative and alternative communication’ in the context of ‘disability’, hence, it is not treated at par like any other spoken language which by constitutional rights (Article 29, (1&2)) can be promoted like any other minor tribal languages. Hence, Stokoe’s first ever linguistic description of sign language (see Stokoe 1960; Battison 1974; Brentari 1998) generated a whole new perspective in our understanding of human languages.	cache/ijoeat-376.pdf	txt/ijoeat-376.txt
