It's seems like the Indian Branch is using the Covid period very good to invest in more languages in which they translate!
Good example in searching for ways to expand

Georgian Sign Language

 

Fingerspelling originally used an alphabet based on the Russian manual alphabet. However, in 2012 a new Mkhedruli-based manual alphabet was developed with the support of the Union of the Deaf of Georgia.

Hello brother Manfred I think from what I understood that it would rather be the language spoken in Congo. According to Wikipedia Lele (also spelled Bashilele, Usilele) is a language spoken mainly in the west edge of the Kasai-Occidental Province, in Ilebo and Tshikapa territories; the extreme east of the Bandundu Province, in Idiofa and Gungu territories of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Not to be confused with Lele language (Papua New Guinea), Lele language (Chad), or Lele language (Guinea).

Thanks John but it is strange, I checked several times but the list is the same as the last one (1085 lines), perhaps reclassifying scripts to languages. I'll check later again
