This depends on your definition of language...
If the criteria for a language is that "a language must have differing audible sounds that convey different meanings depending on how the sounds interrelate that is also generally understood by the speakers and listeners of the group" then "no" sign language is not a language.
If the criteria for a language is that "a language must have its own unique form of grammar and syntax, an extensive vocabulary, and differing origins for the terms or concepts presented in the language" then "yes" many (but not all) sign languages would fulfill this requirement.
If the criteria is even more basic such as that "a language must have a method of communication that is understood by the majority of users as a language" then many sign languages would fulfill this requirement as well.
Warning, personal opinion: I personally believe that many people are quick to judge non-audible forms of communication (i.e. predominantly manual languages) as pantomime. While pantomime may be included in some sign languages, it is rarely, if ever, the bulk of the grammar. Pantomime use may be more predominant in some sign languages, more so than others. But I think, people need to realize that this is not the grammar of the language. Whether pantomime is heavily used (in any language, spoken or not) depends on the culture of the language users. Also, even people who primarily use a spoken language use pantomime, sometimes without realizing it! Body language is very important in sign languages because it aids in the meaning, and is nearly equivocal to tone of voice (in sign, facial expression and bodily mannerisms), pitch or volume (in sign, the expressiveness and/or the timing of a sign), length of an individual words combined (in sign, timing of a complete sign) --Chado2423
Yes, sign language is a distinct and complete language. It has its own grammar, syntax, and vocabulary, and it is used by deaf communities all over the world for communication. Just like spoken languages, sign languages evolve and vary across different regions and cultures.
Yes, sign language is a fully developed and recognized language with its own grammar, vocabulary, and syntax. It is a visual-manual form of communication used by individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing to convey meaning through handshapes, facial expressions, and body movements. Just like spoken languages, sign languages are complex and expressive systems of communication.
Colloquial language in British Sign Language refers to how people naturally communicate in everyday conversations. It includes informal signs, facial expressions, and gestures that are commonly used among signers in casual settings.

Yes, idiomatic expressions are commonly used in language and can help convey meaning in a concise and creative way. They can add flair and depth to communication, making it more engaging and impactful.

Most Commonly Their animated dubs along with winx club and ninja turtles. FlorasEnchantix: I really dis-like that language you were using.
Simple- Just code and code more. You could grasp every concept of programming language by reading but never really learn it without coding.
Math is really the language of science.
Language influences perception by shaping how we categorize and interpret the world around us. Different languages may have different words or structures for describing the same concept, leading speakers to perceive and experience that concept in distinct ways. Our perception is also influenced by our language's grammar and vocabulary, which can determine what information we pay attention to and how we process it.
this language is not really rich,it's a poor language. I mean I don't really like bangla....
Nobody really. Just like any other word in any language, a concept becomes crystallised into a term describing it. A caveperson somewhere probably said the equivalent of "What a good idea !!".
It is the concept of synergy which is not really a mathematical concept.
There are many different names for goannas in Aborignal. It really depends on what language group you are from. In WA I know it is commonly called a Bungara (bung-are-a). My language group however calls it Yungardji (Yoo-n-gar-gee). I hope this helps :)
