In South African Sign Language, we have various dialects of Sign Language; sometimes it happens that two or more signs per concept exist. With the help of votes, we can see which of the Signs are frequently used. Indicating which signs a most often used makes it easier for people who want to learn South African Sign Language. A 12th Official Language is possible when signs are well documented.
