Quebec Sign Language, known as Langue des signes québécoise (LSQ), is a visual language used primarily by the Deaf community in Quebec, Canada. It has its own grammar and vocabulary, distinct from spoken languages, and is used for communication among Deaf individuals. LSQ is influenced by both American Sign Language (ASL) and French Sign Language (LSF), reflecting the bilingual nature of the region. LSQ is an essential part of Deaf culture in Quebec, promoting identity and community among its users. The language is taught in schools for the Deaf and is also used in various social and cultural events, helping to preserve and celebrate the unique heritage of the Deaf community in the province.
