"The Legal Recognition of National Sign Languages"

The World Federation of the Deaf is pleased to continue to provide updated information regarding countries that have legally recognised their national sign languages. This infographic shows which UN Member States have explicit legislation that clearly recognises the language as a distinct language for all deaf people in that country. Many other countries have laws which implicitly or partially recognise their national sign language(s) by way of interpreting or education for deaf children. These laws are not included here.

Here you can review the former infographic of 2017: https://wfdeaf.org/news/resources/infographics-legal-recognition-sign-languages-type-legislation/?fbclid=IwAR0rIM_XdxDow58ThiL0wBFzFSdg2lC7w4958lOd-dvxR_XnwKdoYwSQPno
