For this blogging assignment I tried to find something that Wikipedia hasn't covered in depth. I looked up Canadian Sign Language, and the result was: “Did you mean: catalan sign language,” which is Spanish. When broadening the search to ‘sign languages,’ it produced a list of many sign languages used around the world, but the Canadian version was not included. It does mention Canada when looking up American Sign Language, saying that ASL is dominant in the US and English-speaking Canada. From what I have learned, CSL is very similar to ASL, but not the same.
Although Wikipedia is not always a reliable source of information, it is a very helpful tool when wanting to obtain some very basic knowledge on a topic. It could provide related ideas and/or key words which would be useful when searching in the more credible resources.
