Portuguese Sign language (Portuguese: Língua gestual portuguesa) is a sign language used mainly by deaf people (inability to heard) in Portugal.
It is recognised in the present Constitution of Portugal.[2] It was influenced by Swedish Sign Language, through a Swedish school for the Deaf that was built in Lisbon.[3]
