Sign languages are now written languages just like many spoken languages. Several writing systems exist for writing movement-based languages. SignWriting, invented by Valerie Sutton in 1974 is the only one that has become an everyday writing system in several countries. HamNoSys was created in Europe to write European sign languages, Stokoe notation was created to prove that American Sign Language is a language with its own grammar, but only SignWriting was created on the basis of human movement so that it can write any sign language in the world. It is used by experts in more than 40 countries at last count and is being taught at the University level in Brazil, Morocco, Saudi Arabia, Malta, Ethiopia and some pilot projects in the United States. Symposia created by linguists throughout the world were started in 2015. SignWriting projects have been a part of the Theoretical Issues in Sign Language Research since 2000.
