Seychelles Sign Language

Seychelles Sign Language, also known as Lalang Siny Seselwa, is a sign language used by deaf and hard of hearing Seychellois Creole people.^[2] Formalization of the language began as an effort in 2008 between representatives of the Seychellois Association for People with Hearing Impairment and the Paris-based Institut National de Jeunes Sourds de Paris.^[3] In 2011, the Seychelles government, with support from UNESCO, began work on a standardization project for the language, which culminated in 2019 the first dictionary of Seychelles Sign.^[4][5] The language shows influence from French, American, and Mauritian Sign Language.^[6]
