Description
"Sign language" is not the universal language, but there are differences in many countries and territories. The astronomical terms in sign languages also have differences in various regions. Astronomy is one of the branches in science class in schools for deaf people. But in the case of Thailand, there are lack of astronomical terms in Thai sign language and variation between regional schools for deaf.
NARIT is aware of this problem and conduct "the design of astronomical terms in Thai sign language" by consideration and discussion between 3 parties: NARIT (with astronomical outreach staffs), teachers from the network of Thai schools for deaf and National assosiation of the deaf in Thailand (deaf people & Thai sign language expert). The result is 59 astronomical terms in Thai sign language. The author wish that the process of this design will be the guideline and inspire for the design of astronomical terms in other sign languages in other countries.
