Macedonian Sign Language
open-in-new
<p>Macedonian Sign Language is the <a href="/facts/Sign_language/Wjfl9Db6">sign language</a> of the <a href="/facts/Deaf_community/JHK4m5E9">deaf community</a> in <a href="/facts/North_Macedonia/YpfcC5DA">North Macedonia</a>. As in all sign languages, Macedonian Sign Language is based on gestures and body movements, particularly movements with the hands. The precise number of signers in North Macedonia is not known, but 6,000 people request signed news on Macedonian television. The learning and the usage of the language, as well as the rights of the deaf community in North Macedonia, are regulated by a national law. </p>
