Hey Guys welcome back to another blog post, and today I will be showing you how to say Kia ora my name is Tristan. Now you can look up the nzsl alphabet so you can sign your name to but don't do the exact same as me or else you will be saying Kia ora my name is Tristan. Here are some facts and knowledge about New Zealand sign language. NZSL is a combination of hand shapes, facial expressions, and body movements.
NZSL is the natural language of the Deaf community in New Zealand; it reflects New Zealand culture by including signs for Maori terminology and concepts, which can not be found in other sign languages or countries. As one of the country’s official languages, more than 24,000 New Zealanders use NZSL daily. It is also the 12th most frequently used language out of approximately 190 languages currently used in New Zealand (Census 2006).
