The World Association of Sign Language Interpreters (WASLI) is an international organization aimed at the promotion of the profession of sign languageinterpretation.
WASLI was established 23 July 2003 during the 14th World Congress of the World Federation of the Deaf in Montreal, Canada.[1] Its office is located in Australia.[2]
^a Sign-language names reflect the region of origin. Natural sign languages are not related to the spoken language used in the same region. For example, French Sign Language originated in France, but is not related to French. Conversely, ASL and BSL both originated in English-speaking countries but are not related to each other; ASL however is related to French Sign Language.
^b Denotes the number (if known) of languages within the family. No further information is given on these languages.
^c Italicised languages demark which languages have gone to sleep or have become extinct.
