Well what if the deaf in question wasn't born deaf?  Then they already have sone associated neural pathways in their brains.
Noedit: Furling is deaf.

Furling also can barely construct a proper sentence. If lucky.

Yes, but how do they comprehend the reading? And take sign language, to words they have never heard, to physical english?

They look at how people move their lips and try to mimic it as best they can.

When deaf people speak it sounds like a dying puppy. :|

I asked my brother who has graduated with a degree in linguistics. Deaf people think in symbols much like the hearing able (thinking of an image of seeing the string of words in your head is symbolic thinking), they just can't think with a voice if they've never had hearing. They think using the languages they know how to communicate in whether it be sign language or written English.
