 ====== Education of the language ======
-While Gronings Sign Language has not been officially taught in the Netherlands, it has been closely tied to Sign Language Education in the Netherlands. The first school for the deaf was founded by Henri Daniël Guyot in 1790 in Groningen. Guyot visited  the school for deaf Children in 1784. Here he was taught the basic principles of teaching deaf children using French Sing Language. For this reason, an influence of French Sign Language can be found in Gronings Sign Language ((Schermer, G. M. (2003). From Variant to Standard: An Overview of the Standardization Process of the Lexicon of Sign Language of the Netherlands over Two Decades. Sign Language Studies, 3(4), 469–486. https://doi.org/10.1353/sls.2003.0017)). From 1864 to 1980, the oral method was used at the institute. The actual enforcement of it was much more lenient. Deaf students were still allowed to communicate in sign and often met outside of school hours ((Klomp, U. (2022). A descriptive grammar of Sign Language of the Netherlands. Sign Language & Linguistics, 25(1), 110–119. https://doi.org/10.1075/sll.00064.klo))((Tijsseling, C. (2014). ‘School, waar?’: Een onderzoek naar de betekenis van het Nederlandse dovenonderwijs voor de Nederlandse dovengemeenschap, 1790-1990. [Doctoral thesis 1 (Research UU / Graduation UU), Universiteit Utrecht]. Utrecht University.)) The H.D. Guyot institute still exists today and works together closely Het Clubhuis voor de Doven, a deaf clubhouse that organises activities for the Deaf community in Groningen.((Kentalis Guyotschool voor VSO | Kentalis.

-Considering this, it is likely that while not being supported in the education system, the institute indirectly contributed to the spread and maintenance of the Gronings Sign Language until now. As mentioned previously, it also work together with het Clubhuis voor de Doven. This means that there is likely still transmission of Gronings Sign Language between older and younger generations.
