include sign languages in language list

[ErinBecker]

The language list doesn't include signed languages (e.g. American Sign Language, British Sign Language, South African Sign Language). As we start to broaden our work with the Deaf community, we will need to include signed languages in the language list.

Assigning to @brynnelliott for further discussion. This is not urgent.

It would be great to talk more about how we can make this more inclusive. This is how the language list is built. If fully expanded, there could be 300+ different sign languages added to the list. Navigating that list would present a whole new accessibility concern.

One possibility is to treat this the way we do airports -- there are thousands of airports around the world. We don't list them all, but add them in as we need them.

EDIT to note: If you click on the second link above and search for the phrase "sign language" you will see it appears 300+ times.
