asmywitness[Knowing that Solus now knows how to speak Auslan as well, and has worked out as much simply by observing him, Tyler is somewhat put-off by the idea he wants to put out. But at the same time, he put a lot of hard fucking work into it.
On the other hand, maybe it means someone he actually likes will be able to learn to talk to him eventually. He really misses that.
As usual, his video is subtitled, with his 'gear being held airborn by his Rotom while he uses both hands to sign. He looks a bit awkward, somewhat uncharacteristically.]
I know most people here don't actually know me - I'm a bit reclusive for a few reasons - but as general public information, I guess? [His hands wobble a little, in a sort of shrugging motion.] I'm profoundly deaf. Which means I can't hear anything without the use of Isis as my interpreter.
[The Natu sitting on his shoulder looks at him signing her name specifically, and beeps twice, looking quite proud of herself.]
One of my primary languages is actually AusLan - a local sign language from the country I was born in. Which. [He grimaces for a moment.] Doesn't get automatically translated like everyone else's common tongues do, apparently.
So for anyone who was interested, [And now he looks even more awkward, with a faint hint of colour on his cheeks as his gaze flicks briefly away from the camera.] I've made a fairly thorough dictionary of the most common signs, and some notes on the grammar since it's quite different to spoken English. If anyone was interested in learning it, or wanting to practice it or... anything else, then I'm happy to try and give you some advice.
[His signs speed up a little with his embarrassment.] The dictionary's an app, each sign has two videos on how to say it properly - one at proper speed and one slower to show how to do it right. There's only about two thousand words, probably a bit less, I lost track at some point. There's also two fingerspelling alphabets, one uses both hands and one uses one hand. You can just... message me if you want it.
