Is the Peruvian Sign Langauge similar to American Sign Language? 

 

If you wacth the video in American Sign Language theres nobody translating the Peruvian Signning into American Sign Language.

From what I’ve understood, some sign languages use similar signs, yet their meaning could be quite different in different locality/country. But that’s really the case with any language; some languages are more intelligible when compared to x than when compared to y. Like from “regular” languages many Romance languages are quite a lot like Spanish and Portuguese despite certain differences, or Slavic languages where technically some languages seem more like dialects than different languages altogether.

 

When I was living in Sweden, our Kingdom Hall library had some video publications in local sign language. Yet, they were not in Swedish sign language, but Finnish sign language. Not sure if this was because there were more publications available in FSL, or because they are similar enough languages for people to communicate in despite hailing from two separate countries.

It is easier for Swedish Sign Language publishers to understand Finnish Sign Language than American Sign Language, and for a long time more publications were available in Finnish Sign Language than in Swedish Sign Language, so it is true that the brothers here used literature in that language.
