I did make myself finish watching Strana glukhikh last night. It was not the ending I expected!
But I got to wondering how Russian Sign Language relates to American Sign Language. Where is it in the taxonomy of sign languages? I don’t know any sign languages myself — I need the subtitles — but I’m curious about things like that.
I didn’t find an answer to my question, but I did find this web page that tells about a Russian Sign Language/American Sign Language translator program. And some Russian Sign Language is used in the US:
In communities in the United States with a large Russian presence, such as New York City, interpreting agencies may offer Russian sign language interpreting services.
