I don't see how this can realistically be put under the category "Jewish languages" -- it makes no sense, this is not in the same class as Hebrew or Yiddish, it's an auxiliary language for everyone. What's going on? -- The Anome 01:09, 28 Oct 2004 (UTC)
any idea what the excerpt is blissymols means??
I've added Blissymbolics to the [ideogram] page. Langmaker claims there are 4000 items in the vocabulary, not 900. I've read about an extraordinary user of Bliss that was fluent in 800 symbols (this was regarding a Bliss to English translation system) in 1994 - 1996. Point being that there are various interpretations as to the size of the lexicon. Still, 900 seems short. There is a Bliss font that was submitted, the request available in PDF form, that may at least extend this number. Additionally, new symbols can be created from the existing ideograms, making the hard-count as loose as a hard-count of the lexicon of any other language. Downchuck 06:36, 10 August 2005 (UTC)
Why is the translation for "I want to go to the cinema" listed if it later says it's incorrect? Isn't it possible to edit this image? Maybe I am not understanding something? DoYouKnow
It may be the case that "John DeFrancis and J. Marshall Unger have argued that genuine ideographic writing systems, with the same capacities as natural languages, do not exist", but that does not mean (1) that they are right and (2) that they looked at Blissymbols. So the suggestion that "this implies a limitation on the claims made about Blissymbolics as a communicative system, whatever their practical uses may be" simply doesn't say anything useful. What does it mean? Bliss *is* a communicative system. Evertype 11:10, 21 January 2006 (UTC)
Bliss has an ISO 639-2 language code now. Eventually the same code will be adopted in ISO 639-3. -- Evertype· ✆ 09:27, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
Why is the article title in the singular? This is incorrect. The only terms current for this is Blissymbols or Blissymbolics. Note the language code, for instance, whose referent is Blissymbols. The main article should be Blissymbols and Blissymbol should be a re-direct. -- Evertype· ✆ 09:06, 18 February 2010 (UTC)
This used to say "unknown" but was changed to n/a. Bliss is like Sign Language... though "users" is a more common term, for some disabled people Bliss is their only expressive language. Accordingly, I think either "unknown" or an estimate (which I might get from BCI) should be put here. -- Evertype· ✆ 09:16, 18 February 2010 (UTC)
I remember several years ago, there were some nice resources on the internet, but now I can't load even http://www.blissymbolics.org/. I was looking for a dictionary, and the "dictionary" at http://www.blissymbolics.us/ isn't worth the name, with less than 90 entries. That's a pity! Is anyone aware of a better dictionary? (FWIW, my search yielded one interesting link: http://www.symbolforwindows.eu/en/SfW/symboleditor.) — Sebastian 04:24, 12 April 2010 (UTC)
Discusion at Talk:Augmentative_and_alternative_communication#Blissymbols_as_language is relevent to this page and I think should be linked from here... Failedwizard ( talk) 17:30, 25 July 2011 (UTC)
