SpreadTheSign is a multilingual lexicon covering 43 sign languages.
It was founded and is coordinated by Thomas Lydell and has over 35 partners.
Signs can be searched by keywords and are organised in categories. The webpage also offers pictures of manual alphabets, a world map with location names, and 360° views of rooms in which objects can be selected to view their sign entry.
Editors' note: The spoken/signed language pairs of the SpreadTheSign interface are identified via the name of the spoken language and a country. Sign languages are not directly identified by their name. The sign languages listed in this compendium entry are the ones we assume the resource is referring to.
