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

Norwegian Sign Language, or NSL (Norwegian Bokmål: norsk tegnspråk or Nynorsk: norsk teiknspråk, NTS), is the principal sign language in Norway. There are many sign language organizations and some television programs broadcast in NSL in Norway. The Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation airs Nyheter på tegnspråk (News in Sign Language) daily and previously aired Tid for tegn (Time for Signs) through the years 2008-2011.

NSL is an official language as of 1 January 2022.
