Yes, Spock explicitly states that they're speaking "20th century vernacular English" or something to that effect. There's also a lot of on-screen text in English.

@official-data replied to your post “¦why do sign languages only develop among deaf populations?”
There are signed languages that have evolved among hearing populations, but, AFAIK, only in situations of socially-mandated silence, such as taboos about speaking in certain situations or around certain people. My personal feeling is it's probably because of the convenience of being able to communicate while looking at something else and/or while using your hands for some other task.
@oddment-tweak replied to your post “¦why do sign languages only develop among deaf populations?”
plains sign language was developed by hearing people as a lingua franca
thanks for the info you guys! based on these examples it seems like hearing people only develop sign languages if for some reason spoken lang won’t work for them in that context.
(i wonder also if these sign languages were developed based on systems that deaf people in those communities were already using / to what extent)

only old people? how old is old
other people too, it’s just that I know I have easy access to the 18-25 demographic (undergrads will do anything we love nothing more than avoiding our responsibilities through any means possible) plus older people tend to conserve older dialect forms
so like, i especially need like. grandparents, people over 60, etc but other people too especially if you are from the rural northeast of the us or the rural southeast of canada.
... and since now i know where you are on the tumblrs i figured i'd introduce myself! (since we can't talk to friends in the game... >_<) SO HEY i'm august irl / "tofu" msm. yayyyyy
Ahah, Hi there! I'm Caspian, but you can call me Cole or Caspar-- and message me any time you'd like! I love chatting and making friends! C:
hello monster friend! I was going through the monsters tag the other day looking for friend codes to add, and you were kind enough to join my tribe in return! The other tribe members are just my boyfriend & my housemate so we're stoked to have you ;) We all only just started playing a few weeks ago so it's a baby tribe now but hopefully someday..! After you joined, my bf ("epitrope") wanted to friend you so i went through the tag again to find you again (why doesn't it let me see friends' FCs?!)
Oh hey! Sorry, I just now saw this message. I saw that you were actually just started out so I was like, "Oh, hey, I should join and help." I had tried to join another tribe but the person wouldn't accept me? I felt bummed out until I saw you had added me! I've been playing for about two weeks, both MSM and Dawn of Fire. It's so great having you on my list!<3
