What is sign language about?

Sign languages are visual/gestural languages used primarily by deaf and hard of hearing individuals in a given geographic location. There is a Universal Sign Language, but it is generally only used for certain international events. Every country has its own unique sign language unconnected to the spoken language of the region and many countries which share a spoken language do not share a sign language (for example, American Sign Language and British Sign Language are mutually unintelligible). ---- Sign language is also used to interpret spoken/audible language for the deaf and hard of hearing who are in attendance or watching. This requires a hearing person to listen to what is being spoken and then reiterates it in whatever version of sign language is appropriate for the venue.
