I propose that sign languages proper, as Stokoe would have it, be termed primary sign languages, while sign languages developed by people already competent in some spoken language be termed alternate sign languages. The word ‘alternate’ is suggested, for these systems are typically developed for use as an alternative to speech in circumstances where, for whatever reason, speech is not used. (1988, 4)
He goes on to assert that the alternate systems used by the people of central Australia are likely the most complex of these alternate systems that have ever been devised.
