Iranian Sign Language

Eurasian Language Families

Iranian Sign Language (ISL), also called Farsi Sign Language, Persian Sign Language or Zaban Eshareh Irani, is the sign language used by deaf and hard-of-hearing people in Iran. It is a true sign language, distinct from the Baghcheban phonetic hand alphabet, which is a form of cued speech rather than a sign language in its own right.
