Regional Variations

Because of the isolated nature of British Sign Language there is a very diverse variation in the signs that are used for particular words.  Certain signs will often become favoured in some areas and these can then become associated with that particular area or region.

In 'Sign to Me' we have tried to include variations for a number of different signs, these are represented by numbers enclosed in brackets following the word.

It is possible with 'Sign to Me' to change which sign is used as the primary sign.  This is of particular use when using 'Picture Dictionary' which will only display the primary sign.
