No, almost every country pretty much has their OWN sign language. This is due to the cultural differences that each country has.

So, Spain/Mexico have different signs than: Germany, France, Japan, UK, etc.

Canada and the US both use ASL (American Sign Language).

O'Rourke joked that the English language doesn't just "adopt" words from other languages; English actually chases other languages into dark alleys and mugs them to STEAL their words.
