The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Thai Sign Language is related to American Sign Language, and belongs to the same language family as ASL.
- This relatedness is due to language contact and creolisation that has occurred between ASL, which was introduced into deaf schools in Thailand in the 1950s by American-trained Thai educators, and at least two indigenous sign languages that were in use at the time: Old Bangkok Sign Language and Chiangmai Sign Language.
- These original sign languages probably developed in market towns and urban areas where deaf people had opportunities to meet.
Why it is Common
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Thai Sign Language article was read about 3,200 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 48 and blocks with 24: each hit it takes is cut by 10 %.
How to get Thai Sign Language
Open packs. Each pack holds five cards drawn from real Wikipedia articles, the rarest last, and the fifth card is always Rare or better. The odds are shown in the game. A free pack arrives every hour and two can wait, and the Coins you win in duels buy more packs.
