In what countries is it offensive to make the thumbs-up sign?
Mentalaburinth
In much of the world today, the thumbs up means, "O.K.", "Yes", or "I approve." But in Iran, Afghanistan, and parts of Italy and Greece it is an obscene insult, especially when combined with a sweep of the arms. It these places it roughly means, "Sit on my phallus," and carries the same stigmatism as the middle finger. In southern Sardinia, where this gestures is noted for being particularly obscene, a hitchhiker would be well advised not to wave his thumb in the air expecting a car to pick him up, or he may find himself under the wheels of a large truck.

What was the first country to make a sign language for the deaf?
None. Countries did not make sign languages. They are natural, and have been around for millenia, just like spoken languages.For example, American Sign Language was standardized by Laurent Clerc and Thomas Gallaudet in the 19th Century, but contrary to popular opinion, they did not invent American Sign Language. They took French Sign Language and brought it to America, where the local American sign languages were not standardized.The American village sign languages merged naturally with French sign to create American Sign Language.
