- Actually, I think knowing how to sign this would be much more likely to be useful in English-speaking countries than knowing how to say something like "I don't speak Azerbaijani" in Azerbaijani. bd2412 T 00:31, 6 January 2013 (UTC)
- I doubt it. Most people who speak sign language would already assume that most others don't. --WikiTiki89 00:37, 6 January 2013 (UTC)
- Yes, this is probably true. bd2412 T 02:31, 6 January 2013 (UTC)
- I'm not particularly knowledgeable about this, but I don't think that's correct... --Yair rand (talk) 01:19, 7 January 2013 (UTC)
- There are many places and events where the Deaf community gathers where you wouldn't simply assume someone wouldn't know ASL. Also this entry is still marked rfd. Pengo (talk) 14:02, 30 November 2013 (UTC)
