  abstract   = {Sinasina Sign Language (SSSL) is used by both deaf and hearing people in the Kere and neighboring communities in Sinasina valley, Chimbu province, Papua New Guinea (PNG). It is one of only a handful of sign languages that linguists have reported in PNG (Reed & Rumsey 2020). In this language snapshot, I present early findings from our research on SSSL, highlighting: (i) past and present deaf members of these communities; (ii) vitality; and (iii) the label ‗Sinasina Sign Language‘. I conclude with an overview of our ongoing documentation and description.},
