Previous TISLR meetings have been held in the United States or Canada where automatically ASL has been one of the conference languages alongside spoken English.

Since TISLR 2000 was held in the Netherlands, the conference languages were Sign Language of the Netherlands (NGT) and English, so that again Deaf participants from elsewhere had to provide their own interpreters. This situation led to much discussion as to which languages should be the conference languages in the future and as to whether more interpreter services can be centrally provided. Deaf participants felt that this issue must be fully debated and wrote a manifesto for the sign linguistic community (Rathman, Mathur & Boudreault 2000). | Previous TISLR meetings have been held in the United States or Canada where automatically ASL has been one of the conference languages alongside spoken English.
