I'd be though in time you could have.
Are there any instances of languages that combine spoken word and gestures?

Subject: Re: NonVerbal Conlang?
About 10 or 12 years ago I took a couple of semesters
of ASL at the local community college, and as I
learned each new sign I also devised a written glyph
for it. By the time I was fluent in ASL I was also
fluent in my parallel written pictographic language
which was non-verbal in the sense that when I read it
I tended not to think in "words" but in "signs", the
same as when I was signing. I actually couldn't read
it aloud very well, because that required me to think
of the spoken word for each sign which was an extra
mental step that I wasn't so fluent with.
