Date: Wednesday, 24 February 2010 05:13 (UTC)After thinking about it, people bilingual in, say, ASL and SEE is probably more similar to people who are bilingual in, say, Bavarian and Standard German (or Yorkshire English and Received Pronunciation); both are distinct but are used in the same region. And there are lots of people who are bilingual like that, but that's not quite what I was thinking of.
Still - thanks!
