International Day of Sign Languages
The proposal for the Day came from the World Federation of the Deaf (WFD), a federation of 135 national associations of deaf people, representing approximately 70 million deaf people’s human rights worldwide. The resolution A/RES/72/161 was sponsored by the Permanent Mission of Antigua and Barbuda to the United Nations, co-sponsored by 97 United Nations Member States and adopted by consensus on 19 December 2017.
The choice of 23 September commemorates the date that the WFD was established in 1951. This day marks the birth of an advocacy organization, which has as one of its main goals, the preservation of sign languages and deaf culture as prerequisites to the realization of the human rights of deaf people.
The International Day of Sign Languages was first celebrated in 2018.
According to the World Federation of the Deaf, there are more than 70 million deaf people worldwide. More than 80% of them live in developing countries. Collectively, they use more than 300 different sign languages.
Sign language in Nepal
Although the Deaf School was established in Nepal in 2023 B.S, the technical campaign of Nepali Sign Language started only in 2045 B.S. Before 2045, in Deaf schools, spoken language was used and the use of sign language was banned. At present, 3 thousand 800 words of Nepali Sign Language have been approved and half of them have been included (published) in the dictionary. The remaining words are gradually being added and approved.
Hundreds of countries in the world have created symbolic words following the traditions and culture of their respective countries. Even if a country has more than one sign language for the same word due to the geographical location of that country, it can be understood by all deaf people nationwide. Even in Nepal, due to geographical diversity, some words are used in more than one sign language.
