What is what in sign language?

Sign language is a visual language that uses hand movements, gestures, facial expressions, and body language to communicate. It is used by individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing to convey information and express themselves. Sign languages are distinct from spoken languages and have their own grammar and syntax.

Some common types of sign language include American Sign Language (ASL), British Sign Language (BSL), and Australian Sign Language (Auslan). Each country may have its own unique sign language, with variations in vocabulary and grammar.

Sign language can be learned by anyone, regardless of hearing ability, and is often used as a tool to bridge communication gaps between individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing and those who are hearing. It is recognized as an official language in many countries and has its own linguistic research and educational programs.
