There are different versions of sign language for many countries, and it is not universal. American Sign Language is typically used. Some isolated deaf groups have developed their own form of sign language.

Sign languages are not universal; they vary from country to country and even region to region. Each country typically has its own sign language, such as American Sign Language (ASL) in the United States and British Sign Language (BSL) in the UK. Just like spoken languages, sign languages are unique to the culture and community in which they are used.

What language is universal?

Universal Language is a language which is spoken world wide. At this point there is no Universal Language really, because not every person can speak English. Therefore English is not the universal Language, and nor is any other language in the world. It is possible that one day there will be a language that will be the Universal Language, but for it to get Universal status, it needs to be a language that every single person in the world speaks fluently. There is debates and discusions about English possibly becoming a universal language, but i have doubts about its future as a main language, because as the Chinese and Indian economy are growing, their countries status in the world are becoming more and more important, and alreadt more people are choosing to study Chinese and Arabic languages over English.
