Sign language

A sign language is a way of communicating by using the hands and other parts of the body. It should not be confused with body language.^[1] Sign languages are an important way for deaf people to communicate. Deaf people often use them instead of spoken languages. Spoken languages use sounds from the mouth and are understood with the ears. Sign languages use hands and are understood with the eyes.^[2] Deaf people can use sign languages more easily than spoken languages.
