https://archive.mpi.nl/tla/islandora/object/tla%3A1839_8da05fe4_c881_4d83_aaf9_e09b2a65530a for example has a number of Yucatec Maya Sign Languages, something I've seen nowhere else. Restricted though, with no clear option to gain access. Though I imagine it would be http://ymslproject.org/en/?

The other thing is that there are apparently just... conversations in there? Not in a studio, people in a village talking about daily life things. That is REALLY interesting. If we want to develop robust tech, we'd really want test sets like this.

One deaf signer from Cepeda Peraza and two signers from Chicán (one deaf, one hearing) meet for the first time for a period of several hours and have a conversation about various matters of their daily lives (family, occupations, hobbies, sign language, etc.).
