Samoan Sign Language is the deaf sign language of Samoa.

Quick Facts Native to, Language family ...

Much Samoan Sign Language is based on Australian Sign Language, though there are local signs for Samoan food.[1] It's not clear if this means Samoan Sign Language is related to Australian Sign Language, or if it merely has many loanwords from Australian Sign Language.

A short dictionary has been compiled for Samoan Sign Language, and evidently a separate dictionary has been compiled for American Samoan Sign Language.[2][3] "American Samoan Sign Language" may just be American Sign Language as used in American Samoa.[4]
