I just answered another question like this and i had to say something to you as well. I know it seems to be politically correct to say hearing impaired, but that is not true at all! it is actually a very negative connotation and is like saying the N*word for African Americans (and i don't mean in a joking manner i mean in the sense of a KKK member saying it) anyway there are a lot of different sign language to name a few there is American sign language, Japanese sign language, Australian sign language, and British sign lang. are just a few....
