Greek Sign Language
Greek Sign Language (GSL) is the primary sign language used by the Deaf community in Greece. It has its own unique grammar and vocabulary, distinct from both spoken Greek and other sign languages. GSL is a visual language that relies on hand shapes, facial expressions, and body movements to convey meaning.
The language has evolved over time, influenced by the cultural and social aspects of the Deaf community in Greece. GSL is recognized as an official language, and efforts are ongoing to promote its use in education and public life, ensuring better accessibility for Deaf individuals.
