"Considering the fact that deaf people of Adamorobe live and work with their hearing relatives, it is very likely the case that most of the people using AdaSL on a daily basis are in fact hearing people, communicating with a deaf relative, friend, neighbour or customer. [...] Whereas most or all of the communication of deaf people in Adamorobe happens through AdaSL, most of the communication of an average hearing signer is likely to happen in Akan."

COMMENTAIRES SUR LE CONTEXTE DE LA LANGUE

"Under the chief preceding Nana Kwaakwa Asiampong II, the deaf children were not allowed to go to school outside of the village. This meant they were deprived of education, until the establishment of a special school for the deaf in the village around 1987 by Mr. Adu and Rev. Foster. [...] Most deaf people are positive about their language not because it is prestigious but because they depend on it very much."
