No, not all individuals who are considered "dumb" are deaf. The term "dumb" traditionally referred to someone who is unable to speak but is often used inappropriately to describe a lack of intelligence. Deafness is a condition related to hearing, while intelligence and communication abilities vary independently of hearing ability. It's important to use respectful language and avoid misconceptions about disabilities and cognitive abilities.

How do Deaf people feel about the word deaf?

"Deaf" is not a derogatory term, it merely describes the condition of being unable to hear. Since some people have a reduced ability to hear but do still have some hearing, the term "hearing impaired" would be more accurate for those people. However, the term "dumb" when used to describe people who cannot speak, is insulting (since it also means stupid). So deaf is OK, but deaf and dumb is not.


What languages are spoken by deaf people and mute people?

Whatever language they use in the country they are from.Either through speech or sign language.In America, they mostly use sign languageIn America, deaf people use American Sign Language to communicate but there are several other sign languages that are used around the worldAnd you don't want to say deaf and dumb. Just say deaf because there is actually no correlation between being deaf and being dumb. There are some dumb deaf people just like there are some dumb hearing people. The term "deaf and dumb" started when people believed that deaf people were incapable of higher thought because they could not understand or express themselves.But then in this case i guess the word dumb was meant to mean "mute" as in unable to speak and not "stupid"Anyway, just say deaf because some deaf people do make sounds when they sign and some can even speak but not as clearly as a hearing person would.Sign language, there are several versions, depending on where you live in the world.
