#Adamorobe , a #village in the #WestAfrican nation of #Ghana is known as the ‘#DeafCommunity ’ due to a high incidence of a #hereditary form of #deafness. The community has found an #innovative way to normalize their #HereditaryCondition by #developing their own #SignLanguage which has been adopted by both the #deaf # hearing people in the village. This is quite different from the formal standard sign language used in the school of the deaf.
