In the 18th century, the invention of sign language changed people's opinions. The first school for deaf people was opened in Paris in the 1750s by Abbe Charles Michel L'Épée. He created a language of signs that became known as Old French Sign Language, and it spread throughout Europe as more and more schools were opened. Sign language is the system of signs and gestures that deaf people use to communicate. Today, almost every country has its own sign language. For example in the UK, there is BSL (British Sign Language) and in the USA, ASL (American Sign Language). However, sign languages are very different from spoken languages. They have different grammar and vocabulary. Also, you can even express two or more signs at the same time. So even though British and American people speak English, BSL and ASL aren't the same at all. However, in other countries things are different. South Africa has 11 official spoken languages but only one sign language. There is an international sign language called Gestuno, but this is only used at international deaf events, such as the Deaflympics, or the Olympics for the deaf. 1.
