- Bura_Sign_Language abstract "Bura Sign Language is a village sign language used by the Bura people around the village of Kukurpu, 40 km (25 miles) south-east of Biu, Nigeria, an area with a high degree of congenital deafness. It is unrelated to Nigerian Sign Language and is "likely ... quite independent". None of the signers have been to school, the area where it is used is rather remote, and there appears to be no influence of Western sign.Bura SL has the lax hand shapes and large sign space characteristic of West African sign. Many of the words are similar or identical to those of Adamorobe Sign Language and Nanabin Sign Language of Ghana, and appear to be based on the gestures common to the hearing population across West Africa. These involve conventionalized metaphors such as 'sweat' for "work" and 'sleep' for "next day".".
