The time has come to find out some answers, in particular to the main question: “Why?”
~*~
Some additional information:
Mexican Sign Language ("lengua de señas mexicana" or LSM), is the language of the Deaf community in Mexico.
LSM is quite distinct from Spanish, with completely different verb inflections, different discourse structure and preferences for word order, and little use of the verb to be.
LSM is widely believed by the deaf community to have derived from Old French Sign Language (OFSL). It is mutually unintelligible with American Sign Language.
