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

Mayan Sign Language (Spanish: Lengua de señas maya or yucateca) is a sign language used in Mexico and Guatemala by Mayan communities with unusually high numbers of deaf inhabitants. In some instances, both hearing and deaf members of a village may use the sign language. It is unrelated to the national sign languages of Mexico (Mexican Sign Language) and Guatemala (Guatemalan Sign Language), as well as to the local spoken Mayan languages and Spanish.
