I know there’s a different sign language for each country. Which sign language is the most spoken in the world?
I thought because english is one of the most spoken languages that it would be the same in deaf people, but I was also told that American Sign Language is completely different from British Sign language and that therefore a deaf person from London wouldn’t understand a deaf person from California. So now I don’t know which is most used.

well sign language isn’t technically “spoken” but beyond that, it is Chinese sign language which has about 20 million people who use it in China, Malaysia, and Taiwan. American sign language only has about 2 million in the US and some more in other countries. British sign language has about 50,000 signers.
