The Danish Sign Language family comprises three languages: Danish Sign Language, Norwegian Sign Language (including Malagasy Sign Language) and Icelandic Sign Language. It itself is a sub-language family within the larger French Sign Language family.[1]

Wittmann (1991) places Danish Sign in the French Sign Language family, although being also influenced by local pidgin Scandinavian Sign, which also influenced Swedish sign.
Ethnologue reports that Danish Sign Language is largely mutually intelligible with Swedish Sign, though Wittmann places DSL in the French Sign Language family and Swedish Sign in the British Sign Language family.[2]
