We have a good news from Korea. In Korea, SignWriting is officially written Feb. 6, 2025. Below is the article from the news letter(Source: E-DongA (https://edu.donga.com)) The National Institute of the Korean Language announced on February 6 that it will be opening a new Korean sign language-Korean dictionary, the 'Korean Sign Language Nuri Dictionary', which contains Korean sign language actually used by deaf people and allows for the visual linguistic characteristics of Korean sign language to be confirmed. The 'Korean Sign Language Nuri Dictionary' is a dictionary that contains the linguistic characteristics of Korean sign language based on the Korean sign language corpus (video data), and includes various information such as the meaning of the entry, Korean equivalent expressions, examples, sign form pictures, and sign language characters. Deaf people participated in all the compilation processes to reflect the sign language actually used in the agricultural community. The dictionary contains a total of approximately 1,000 entries, and can be searched in sign language form and Korean. In addition to menus provided in sign language videos and Korean, the dictionary usage instructions are also provided in sign language videos, allowing deaf people who use Korean sign language as their native language to use it more conveniently. Another feature is the introduction of a customized screen setting function that allows users to select the information they want to view. The event commemorating the opening of the dictionary will be held at 2:00 PM on February 6th in the international conference room on the 3rd floor of the Sangam-dong Business Tower. The event will include a report on the progress of the dictionary compilation and a search demonstration, as well as an awards ceremony for the Korean Sign Language Naming Contest for the 'Korean Sign Language Nuri Dictionary' held in December of last year. A total of 233 sign language names were received in this contest, and the official sign language names for the 'Korean Sign Language Nuri Dictionary' will be announced at the opening ceremony along with the winning entries.

Sutton Movement Writing & Shorthand is a way to read & write all body movement. It is a script with 5 parts: DanceWriting, SignWriting, MimeWriting, SportsWriting & MovementWriting. DanceWriting was invented by Valerie Sutton in 1972 followed by SignWriting in Denmark in 1974. The SignWriter Newspaper written in American Sign Language (ASL) was published 1981-1984. The SignWriter Computer Program, a sign language processor for typing SignWriting, began in 1986 by Richard Gleaves. The Deaf Action Committee for SignWriting (DAC), a team of Deaf ASL signers, was founded by Lucinda O'Grady in 1988. The DAC influenced the development of SignWriting, now used to write over 40 sign languages around the world. In 2004, software developer Stephen E Slevinski Jr began a collaboration with Valerie Sutton to develop web-based software and font encoding for the SignWriting Script. The collaboration continues in 2020. Slevinski developed SignPuddle software and the SignWriting TrueType Fonts, establishing the Sutton SignWriting Software Standard.
