Whatever language they use in the country they are from.

Either through speech or sign language.
In America, they mostly use sign language
In America, deaf people use American Sign Language to communicate but there are several other sign languages that are used around the world

And 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.
