Adamorobe Sign Language
[2][3] The Adamorobe community is notable for its unusually high incidence of hereditary deafness (genetic recessive autosome).Instead, AdaSL uses several types of serial verb constructions also found in the surrounding spoken language, Akan.Frishberg suggests that AdaSL may be related to the "gestural trade jargon used in the markets throughout West Africa".For over a decade, the deaf children of the village have attended a boarding school in Mampong-Akuapem, where the ASL based Ghanaian Sign Language is used.This is likely to lead to a complete shift of the deaf community in Adamorobe to Ghanaian Sign Language.
