Those who have tendency toward equivocal language often are quite difficult to understand. Sometimes the words has two or more meanings.

Equivoque refers to a word or phrase with multiple meanings, often used intentionally to create ambiguity or mislead. It is commonly used in literature, rhetoric, and wordplay to play with language and create clever or humorous effects.
The term CODA is an acronym or initialism, respectively. It stands for either "CHILD OF DEAF ADULT" in the singular sense, or "CHILDREN OF DEAF ADULTS" in the plural sense.... ...and is also equivocal contextually to CHILD OF DEAF ADULTS, or CHILDREN WITH A DEAF PARENT. There are two ways to sign this: By finger-spelling, or by signing: CHILD {O-F} ADULT DEAF
This depends on your definition of language...If the criteria for a language is that "a language must have differing audible sounds that convey different meanings depending on how the sounds interrelate that is also generally understood by the speakers and listeners of the group" then "no" sign language is not a language.If the criteria for a language is that "a language must have its own unique form of grammar and syntax, an extensive vocabulary, and differing origins for the terms or concepts presented in the language" then "yes" many (but not all) sign languages would fulfill this requirement.If the criteria is even more basic such as that "a language must have a method of communication that is understood by the majority of users as a language" then many sign languages would fulfill this requirement as well.Warning, personal opinion: I personally believe that many people are quick to judge non-audible forms of communication (i.e. predominantly manual languages) as pantomime. While pantomime may be included in some sign languages, it is rarely, if ever, the bulk of the grammar. Pantomime use may be more predominant in some sign languages, more so than others. But I think, people need to realize that this is not the grammar of the language. Whether pantomime is heavily used (in any language, spoken or not) depends on the culture of the language users. Also, even people who primarily use a spoken language use pantomime, sometimes without realizing it! Body language is very important in sign languages because it aids in the meaning, and is nearly equivocal to tone of voice (in sign, facial expression and bodily mannerisms), pitch or volume (in sign, the expressiveness and/or the timing of a sign), length of an individual words combined (in sign, timing of a complete sign) --Chado2423
