Best Answer

Deaf people communicate very well with each other through their natural visual language, called sign language. It is a rich combination of gesture, mime, manual gestures, signs, classifiers, fingerspelling, and lexicalized fingerspelling.

If you equate spoken language with 2-D, then Deaf people that use a native language like ASL are talking to each other in 3-D.

It is a very expressive and dynamic language that is a lot of fun to learn, and even more fun to share with a Deaf friend.

If you're trying to speak vocally, some deaf people can read lips, but this is only about 30% effective. If you don't know sign language, the best way to communicate would be by texting.
