Ulimi Lwezandla LwaseMelika selusondele isikhathi eside. Kodwa ngubani owasungula noma kwenzeka kanjani?
Lokho esikubiza ngokuthi uLimi Lwezandla LwaseMelika empeleni lusekelwe eYurophu. Kuyaziwa nokuthi ekhulwini le-18, uthisha wezithulu u-Abbe de l'Epee waseFrance wakha uhlobo lokuqala lolimi lwezandla olunikele ekulimeni kolimi lwezandla lwaseMelika. I-Abbe de l'Epee yenza uhlelo lwesiFulentshi olufanayo olufana nomqondo wokubhalisa i-English ecacile.
Umphakathi Wokungena ngemvume waseFrance
Kodwa-ke, kwakukhona kakade isigning umphakathi French ngaphambi Abbe de l'Epee. Lokhu kwabhalwa umlobi oyisithulu uPerre Desloges. U-Desloges wabhala encwadini yakhe ethi 1779 Ukubheka Kwayisithulu-IsiThulu sokuthi u-de l'Eppee ufunde ulimi lwezandla lwesiFulentshi kubantu abayizithulu eFrance. Kubukeka sengathi iminyaka eminingi, uhlelo lwebhuku kanye nesistimu ye "yeqiniso" yokubhalisa ikhona, kanti ibhukwana kungenzeka lisetshenziswe ekilasini kanye nesistimu "yeqiniso" ngaphandle kweklasi.
Ukusayina kukaMarta Isivini
Incwadi kaNora Ellen Groce, ethi " Wonke umuntu Lapha Ulimi Lwezandla LwaseSpoke ," liveza umsuka wolimi lwezandla lweMarta oMvini (MVSL), ulimi lokuqala lwezandla elisetshenziselwa esiqhingini saseMarta Isivini esogwini lwaseMassachusetts, lapho izithulu ezazivame ukuqala khona Ikhulu le-17 leminyaka. Ulandele i-MVSL emuva kuCentin Kent eningizimu yeNgilandi. I-Groce itholakala ku "Idayari likaSamual Pepy" lolo lwazi lwezandla lwalusetshenziswa eKentish "weald" (indawo yehlathi).
Izakhamuzi zaseMivini zibiza uphawu lwazo ngokuthi "Ulimi Lwezandla LwaseKilmark" ngemuva komzana waseChilmark lapho kwakukhona umphakathi ongenotho oyisithulu.
I-MVSL kungenzeka ukuthi yayinethonya elithile ekuthuthukiseni Ulimi Lwezandla LwaseMelika lapho ezinye izingane eziyizithulu ezivela eMartin's Vineyard zaqala ukuya eSikoleni SaseMelika Sabazizwayo eHartford, Connecticut.
Ngaphezu kwalokho, njengoba izingane eziyizithulu ezivela kulo lonke izwe zingena esikoleni, cishe zilethe "izimpawu zokuzenzela". Ngokuhamba kwesikhathi, lezi zibonakaliso kungenzeka zihlanganiswe nolunye ulimi lwezandla ezisetshenziselwa esikoleni (kufaka phakathi isiNgisi) futhi luye lwaziwa ngokuthi yi-ASL.
