Sign languages are fully developed natural languages that use visual-manual modalities to convey meaning. They consist of hand shapes, movements, facial expressions, and body postures, enabling communication among deaf and hard-of-hearing individuals. Each sign language is distinct, with its own grammar and vocabulary, reflecting the cultural and social contexts of its users.
