SIGN LANGUAGE
Sign language is a visual means of communication used primarily by people who are deaf or hard of hearing. It consists of hand gestures, facial expressions, and body movements to convey meaning. Each country or region typically has its own sign language, such as:
American Sign Language (ASL) – used in the U.S. and Canada
British Sign Language (BSL) – used in the UK
Indian Sign Language (ISL) – used in India
French Sign Language (LSF) – used in France
Sign languages are fully developed languages with their own grammar and structure, distinct from spoken languages. They allow deaf individuals to communicate effectively and express complex ideas just like spoken languages do.
