It was written in response to a request to provide examples of countries where inclusive policies were being implemented. Most of the examples refer to countries in the Middle East or North Africa or to other French or Arabic speaking countries.

Negation in Jordanian Sign Language: A cross-linguistic perspective. In: Perniss, Pamela / Pfau, Roland / Steinbach, Markus (eds): Visible variation : comparative studies on sign language structure.

Negation in Jordanian Sign Language: A cross-linguistic perspective. Paper presented at the 26. Jahrestagung der Deutschen Gesellschaft für Sprachwissenschaft in Mainz am 25.-27. Februar. It has been noted in the literature that the cultures of the Eastern Mediterranean tend to use a backward tilt of the head to express negation, and that this feature is also found in sign languages from that part of the world... Jordanian Sign Language (or Lughat il-Ishaarah il-Urduniah, LIU) appears to be one dialect of a larger Eastern Arabic Sign Language, that also comprises at least Lebanese, Syrian, Iraqi, and Palestinian Sign Language. Although Arab cultures tend to use the backward tilt of the head, often accompanied by a tongue-click and a raise of the eyebrows, the grammatical status of this gesture in LIU is questionable.
