Each Indian tribe had a different language. Many Indians never learned any language 1.except their own. Do you know how Indians from different tribes2.talke d to each other? They had two ways to talk 3.without sound. One way was by sign language; the other way by signals. Sign language is a way of talking by using signs. Indians used sign language when they met strangers. 4.In this way, they could find out whether the stranger was a friend or an enemy. In the Indian sign language, signs were made 5.with the hands. One sign meant "man". Another meant "horse". To tell the 6.time of day when something happened, an Indian pointed to the sky. He showed 7.where the sun had been at the time.

Indians usually used signals when they wanted to 8.send messages to someone far away.9.To make signals, an Indian might use a pony. He might use a blanket. Or he might use smoke, a mirror or fire arrows.

To signal that he had seen many animals, an Indian rode his horse10.in a large circle. Sometimes the Indian gave a signal like this and then went away to 11.hide. This 12.meant that there was danger.

The blanket signal was 13.visible from far away. An Indian held the corners of a blanket in his hands. Then he began to swing the blanket from side 14.to side in front of him. An Indian could send many different signals with his blanket.

He could also send many signals with a mirror. He usually used the mirror to 15.warn someone of danger. Or he attempted to get the attention of a person far away. But he also used it to send messages in code. Of course, mirrors could be used only when the 16.sun was shining. At night, Indians used fire arrows for signaling.

An Indian also sent signals with smoke. He made a small fire of dry wood. Then he put grass or 17.green branches on it. He held a blanket over the fire for a minute. When he removed the blanket 18.from the fire, there was a 19.cloud of smoke. 20.Number of clouds of smoke told his message in code.

Now you can see that Indians didn't need to learn each other's language. They could talk to one another by using signals or sign language.

每个印第安人部落有不同的语言。许多印度人不学任何语言除了自己。你知道如何印第安人来自不同部落互相交谈？他们有两只途径谈论没有声音。一种方法是用手语；另一路信号。

手语是一种说话方式的迹象。印第安人用手语当遇到陌生人。这样，他们可以找出是否有陌生人是朋友还是敌人。在印度手语，标志了的手。一个表示“人”。另一个意思是“马”。告诉一天中的时间发生时，一个印度指向天空。他指出太阳已经在时间。

印度人通常使用的信号，当他们想要发送消息给远方的人。使信号，印度可能会使用一个小马。他用毯子。或他可能会使用烟雾，镜子或火箭。

信号，他看到了许多动物，印度骑他的马在一个大圆圈。有时，印度发出一个信号就这样走开去隐藏。这意味着有危险。

毯子信号是从远处清晰可见。印度举行的角落毯在他的手里。然后他开始摆动毯子从一边到另一边，在他面前。印度可以发送不同的信号与他的毯子。

他也可以发送多个信号与镜子。他通常用来警告危险的镜子。他试图让一个人的注意远。但他也用它来发送邮件的代码。当然，镜子可用于只有当太阳的光辉。晚上，印第安人用火箭信号。

印度还发送信号烟雾。他做了一个小火干木。然后他把草或绿枝上。他把毯子的火一分钟。当他把毯子从火，是一团烟雾。一些烟雾云告诉他的消息代码。

现在你可以看到印第安人不需要学习对方的语言。他们可以互相交谈的信号或手语。
