Sign languages are full natural languages with their own grammar, unrelated to the spoken languages around them.
Filipino Sign Language, abbreviated as FSL (Filipino: Wikang Senyas ng mga Pilipino), or Philippine Sign Language, is a sign language originating in the Philippines. Like other sign languages, FSL is a unique language with its own grammar, syntax and morphology; it is not based on and does not resemble Filipino or English. Some researchers consider the indigenous signs of FSL to be at risk of being lost due to the increasing influence of American Sign Language.
The Republic Act 11106 or The Filipino Sign Language Act, effective November 27, 2018, declared FSL as the national sign language of the Filipino Deaf.
