Hi: It comes from the motion of the cutter when it cuts into the dough when making the biscuit. Who/where was the first usage is probably just a wild guess.

The exact origin of the deaf sign for "biscuit" is unclear. Sign languages evolve naturally within deaf communities, and signs can vary regionally. It is possible that the sign for "biscuit" developed as a visual representation of the shape or texture of a biscuit.

What languages are spoken by deaf people and mute people?

Whatever language they use in the country they are from.Either through speech or sign language.In America, they mostly use sign languageIn America, deaf people use American Sign Language to communicate but there are several other sign languages that are used around the worldAnd you don't want to say deaf and dumb. Just say deaf because there is actually no correlation between being deaf and being dumb. There are some dumb deaf people just like there are some dumb hearing people. The term "deaf and dumb" started when people believed that deaf people were incapable of higher thought because they could not understand or express themselves.But then in this case i guess the word dumb was meant to mean "mute" as in unable to speak and not "stupid"Anyway, just say deaf because some deaf people do make sounds when they sign and some can even speak but not as clearly as a hearing person would.Sign language, there are several versions, depending on where you live in the world.

Are deaf people lucky to be deaf?

Being deaf, I don't find deafness as a sign of weakness; just an inability to hear. I truly am lucky to be deaf. I could communicate with a beautiful language- ASL. (American Sign Language.) There also are many sign languages in different countries. For an example, there is French Sign Language. So bascially it is like as if I am a foreigner and you are an American. There is no difference.
