Sign language, a bridge between two cultures • FRANCE 24 English

This Thursday is International Day of #SignLanguages. We take a closer look at the French sign language, more commonly known as #LSF or "Langue des signes française", which was banned in France until 1977. Even though today only a #minority of people master the #language, it's developing little by little, even among non-deaf people. FRANCE 24's Éléonore Vanel, Erika Olavarria and James Vasina report. 🔔 Subscribe to France 24 now: f24.my/YTen 🔴 LIVE - Watch FRANCE 24 English 24/7 here: f24.my/YTliveEN 🌍 Read the latest International News and Top Stories: www.france24.com/en/ Like us on Facebook: f24.my/FBen Follow us on Twitter: f24.my/TWen Discover the news in pictures on Instagram: f24.my/IGen
