Sign language is a real, natural language The 15 most used sign languages in the world (in order of speakers): 1Ī note about data: There are no hard, concrete facts about the real numbers of signers or the languages they use, so these are only estimates I’ve managed to compile through independent research gleaned from a number of different sources. Some sign languages are more widely used than others, due to population size, access to education, etc. Most deaf people, however, do not know or use it. IS is a type of pidgin sign language developed to make communication between deaf people from different countries possible in international settings, like conferences and global events. The reason being is, just like with spoken languages, they were developed independently over time in different countries.Ī note about International Sign Language (IS): There is no real international sign language, not a natural one, at least. Most of them have nothing to do with each other. What you may not know is that there are roughly 300 unique, recognized sign languages (plus several hundred unrecognized ones) used around the world. The term “sign language” refers to a type, not one single, universal language.
