The Greek that is transliterated as «barbarian» in English is translated in Libras (Brazilian Sign Language) with a sign that combines a nomads tent and «submission to authority.» «The idea of barbarians that we have today is different from the reality described historically. They were a nomadic people and were submissive to the cultures and languages to which they were subjugated, and were not as violent as the Scythians.» (Source: Aline Martins and Paul Fahnestock)
