Sign language
A sign language (also signed language) is a language which uses manual communicationbody language and lip patterns instead of sound to convey meaning—simultaneously combining hand shapes, orientation and movement of the  handsarms or body, and facial expressions to express fluidly a speaker's thoughts. Sign languages commonly develop in deaf communities, which can include interpreters and friends and families of deaf people as well as people who are deaf or hard of hearing themselves.
