When was finnish sign langauge officially recognised?

In 1995. Added the info to the text. --Farside 18:43, 29 Mar 2004 (UTC)
I found a reference that says Finland was the 3rd country to recognise sign language, but it didn't tell what the other two countries were. If someone knows, please add to the text! --Farside 19:01, 29 Mar 2004 (UTC)
I thought, it was 1955(!) and not 1995, when Finnland recognised the finnish sign language. NewAtair
It was definitely in 1995. Sign languages weren't even considered natural languages before 1970s when the lingvistic studies began, and before 1980s (or somewhere around there) in Finland (and in many, many other countries) those who were born deaf couldn't even intermarry. --Farside 21:46, 10 Aug 2004 (UTC)
You are coming from Finland, and therefore I have to believe you. --NewAtair 11:46, 11 Aug 2004 (UTC)

I believe that the French Government after the revolution in 1792 or thereabouts recognised French Sign Langauge in some sense and provided funding for a school that used sign language, although of course Farside is right in suggesting that it wasn't until the late 20th century that sign languages began to be taken seriously as complete languages. ntennis 08:20, 23 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

www DOT eud DOT eu/Finland-i-182.html tells that FInland was 2nd in the world not third. It also says less that 5000 FSL signers (actually they have 4000 odd registered signers, which is probably fairly accurate). etc. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.113.96.60 (talk) 20:03, 8 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
