Did you know that Taiwan Sign Language (TSL) is part of the Japanese Sign Language family and is entirely distinct from the sign languages used in China, the US, and other parts of the world? In this episode, we are joined by Fanghuai Ku, founder of the Signing Village Workshop and a CODA (Child of Deaf Adults), who is proficient in both TSL and American Sign Language. Join us as we delve into the fascinating genealogy of TSL, its dialectal variations, and its significance for Taiwan’s Deaf community.
