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

Penang Sign Language (Malay: Bahasa Isyarat Pulau Pinang) was developed in Malaysia by deaf children, outside the classroom, when oralism was predominant. It is now mainly used by older people, although many younger people can understand it.
