Vote on the NZSL name for Whaikaha - Ministry of Disabled People
The New Zealand Sign Language (NZSL) Board has opened voting on options for the sign name for Whaikaha – Ministry of Disabled People.
After taking into consideration the purpose and background information on the Whaikaha brand a group of NZSL experts – representatives from Deaf Action, Deaf Aotearoa, Deaf Studies Research Unit, NZSL Board and te Rōpū Kaitiaki have identified three potential options for the NZSL name. The NZSL Board is now asking Deaf people to vote on their preferred option.
At the end of this process, Whaikaha will become the first government ministry to have a name in all three official languages:
