Welcome to the most comprehensive and innovative sign language database on the Internet 

What is International Sign? 
Contrary to popular belief, many different sign languages exist around the world. International Sign is a form of signing that is globally recognised and understood.
It has been compared with Esperanto, and some academics may argue that it is reminiscent of Pidgin and/or Creole languages. Others believe that it is a purely visual method of signs, using only certain grammatical elements of sign languages that advanced sign language users are able to understand.
