IMPROVED: Let me try to simplify this. Make an L with both hands. Face them towards each other but not touching. Move them in little circles like pedaling a bicycle backwards, then shake them very slightly as you move them apart from one another (moving the hands out right/leftward). This is the sign for 'sign language'.
Old answer: It's rather hard to explain a sign to someone in words since you cannot show it to them, so I'll do the best I can.
The sign for sign language starts out with the ONE hand (index finger). Both of the hands move in a circular motion toward and away from the body around the chest area.
That is the sign used for just the word sign or sign language combined. If you want to have sign language as a compound sign, the sign for language starts out with the L hand. The L's move in small circles away from each other at about the mid-section of the body. So you can sign the word SIGN followed by LANGUAGE to sign the compound sign for sign language.
Sorry if that seems a little confusing. It's not the easiest to put some things like explanations of signs into words.
