(Since I travel around India, and China, Taiwan, South America, etc working with the Deaf, I have learned to communicate with many Deaf with more of a Visual Body Language that is understood everywhere. This also helps me communicate with Deaf who know and use N.S.L. (That means NO SIGN LANGUAGE! LOL)
The Deaf in Kolkota also produce a VCD of "Indian Sign Language" that is pretty good. One has to learn a particular S.L. in some major city of India and pretty much stick to that S.L. Going to another area complicates things, for the most part.
I have traveled extensively around India and found the Sign Languages to be very different. Even the alphabet has many variations. Both one-handed and two-handed alphabets have several variations in them, not to even mention the signs themselves. The Marathi alphabet does exist but I have not met anyone yet who uses it as their main source of communication. It can be found in a Sign Language syllabus which I came across from the library in Mumbai.

Interesting!
I'm studying to be an American Sign Language Interpreter.
ISL's alphabet is basically the same as British Sign Language's.

Yes you are right. The interesting thing here in India is that there is no way to spell the local languages.
