136 of the 150 sign languages here have no resource at all, across 234 people groups
and 84,159,050 people. This tick searched for more rather than assuming, and the answer
is that there are none to find in the open catalogues:
Arclight / JESUS Film 14 sign-language entries across 13 ISO codes - every one of
them was ALREADY in this index
Faith Comes By Hearing none at all, in 3,602 rows
deaf.bible 200, but a 3,894-byte app shell
deafbible.com the same 3,894-byte shell
door.international 200, 114 bytes
So the gap closes through an agreement with Deaf Bible Society or DOOR International,
not through more searching, and every sign-language group now says that in those words
instead of leaving a reader to assume somebody simply had not looked yet.
Two real honesty defects went with it. The provenance line claimed "ebible, arclight,
door43, fcbh" as CHECKED for a Deaf group - eBible and Door43 are text and FCBH is
audio, none of which serves a Deaf group - and named GRN, an AUDIO pool, as the thing
still unchecked, while omitting the two organisations that actually publish for the
Deaf. A sign language now reads "arclight (14 sign languages, all captured), fcbh
(none)" as checked and "deaf_bible_society, door_international - both key-gated" as not.
And the sheet showed a Deaf group an "Audio - none at FCBH, GRN unsearchable" chip:
noise about a medium they cannot use, pushing the one line that matters further down.
It is suppressed for sign languages. Where FCBH does hold something for them it is
text, and that link still shows.
Verified against the data rather than the prose: 150 sign languages, 13 with a film, 0
with a text Scripture, 0 with both - so the standing claim that none yet has both is
still true - and 84,159,050 is the population the page renders. Screenshot read: Deaf
Nicaraguan shows the exhausted-catalogue paragraph naming both ministries, with no
audio chip.
Jehovah's Witnesses publish extensively in sign language and remain excluded. The size
of a gap is not a reason to relax the doctrinal filter.
