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.
Does every language have its own sign language?
Many do. Most signing systems used for communication developed in isolation in their respective countries and so those systems developed different signs meaning different things. Knowing that, it is always fascinating to find similar signs for the same words across different sign languages such as the sign for baby which is a rocking motion with your arms in front of you. This sign is the same for, at least, American Sign Language and British Sign Language. An interesting note: American sign language is most closely related to French sign language as the first prominent teacher of deaf children in America was brought here from France.
