They happen to be not too far off from ASL fingerspelling signs, so here's a transcription based on that: Indeed, in the two places I remember where Atriedes sign is used in the movie, there's an even number of handshapes. So to have a decent sized lexicon, it would make sense that each word is a pair of handshapes. The number of possible handshapes is about the size that an alphabet could be (ASL has around 30-40). This makes a lot of sense for a language engineered to be usable while your hands are tied, but is nothing like any natural sign language. Atriedes battle sign seems to have none of that, the only thing relevant to the meaning is the shape of one hand. Every sign language used by Deaf people uses a ton of things to carry meaning: hand shape, hand position, movement, facial expressions, body language, etc. DJP apparently also created Fremen Sign Language for the Deaf people of Arrakis, though it might have gotten cut (I don't remember seeing it in the movie.)įrom what I remember of the Atriedes sign language from the movie, it almost doesn't qualify as a sign language. You should probably look at this instead.
