  Everyone Here Spoke Sign Language: Hereditary Deafness on Martha’s Vineyard Everyone Here Spoke Sign Language: Hereditary Deafness on Martha’s Vineyard OTHER ARTICLES From the seventeenth century to the early years of the twentieth, the population of Martha's Vineyard manifested an extremely high rate of profound hereditary deafness.

How was this possible?On the Vineyard, hearing and Deaf islanders alike grew up speaking sign language. This unique sociolinguistic adaptation meant that the usual barriers to communication between the hearing and the Deaf, which so isolate many Deaf people today, did not exist....
