Hi! - Hello! - Salute!
Welcome at the Salute! website
Note: The Salute! software has been designed in The Netherlands. At the moment, only a Dutch database of signs has been created. However, the program is suitable for scientists, linguists and other enthusiasts who would like to use the program to design a database in other sign languages. For this purpose the Salute! website has been translated into English and the English version of Salute! will be ready shortly. If you are interested in cooperation in this field, please contact us.
