Sign languages are full natural languages with their own grammar, unrelated to the spoken languages around them.

Hong Kong Sign Language (Chinese: 香港手語; Jyutping: hoeng1 gong2 sau2 jyu5), abbreviated as HKSL, is the deaf sign language of Hong Kong and Macau. It derived from the southern dialect of Chinese Sign Language, but is now an independent, mutually unintelligible language.
