#Adamorobe , a #village in the #WestAfrican nation of #Ghana is known as the ‘#DeafCommunity ’ due to a high incidence of a #hereditary form of #deafness. The community has found an #innovative way to normalize their #HereditaryCondition by #developing their own #SignLanguage which has been adopted by both the #deaf # hearing people in the village. This is quite different from the formal standard sign language used in the school of the deaf.

@msquebanh Neat, there are a few communities like that throughout the world and history. Martha's Vineyard might be one of the most well known examples here. Glad to see there are still some communities like that.
