sign language

Language used by deaf people that involves movements of the hands, face, and the upper part of the body, not the voice. Signs do not correspond exactly to words as their meaning depends on the ‘speaker's’ movements and facial expressions. There are as many sign languages as there are spoken ones.

American Sign Language (Amslang) has a core of 6,000 words with additional words having to be spelt out letter by letter.
