Kailge Sign Language
Kailge Sign Language是一种手语,主要分布在巴布亚新几内亚。
手语是完整的自然语言,有自己的语法;它们与当地口语并不同源。
Kailge Sign Language is a well-developed village sign language of Western Highlands Province, Papua New Guinea. It is spoken over a wide region of small hamlets around the town of Kailge, as well as in Kailge itself, in a Ku Waru–speaking region. It might be characterized as a network of homesign rather than as a single coherent language. Its use of signing space is more similar to that of deaf-community sign languages than that of many village sign languages shared with the hearing community.
KSL has lexical similarities with another village sign language in the region, Sinasina Sign Language.
