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 are deaf dumb and blind if someone says this is the sun to a deaf person they can lip read but someone that is deaf dumb and blind how can you tell them what the sun is Ive heard by touch pleas?

you would not be able to give a deaf/blind person a spot on visual description but you could get them to feel of what a circle feels like and then get them to touch a hot surface. but you could not, however, say that the sun is yellow for they have no idea of what yellow is. the truth is that you cannot get them to know what the sun is in the way that we understand.
