Is Ethiopian Sign Language really a language isolate??

People working with Sign Language in Ethiopia told me that ESL has a significant input from ASL. Also, the deaf school in Hosaena was begun drawing on British Sign Language. Until somebody cites a source documenting that it is indeed a language isolate, I am deleting categories about being an isolate. Pete unseth (talk) 02:36, 21 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
