Kailge Sign Language is a well-developedvillage sign language ofWestern Highlands Province, Papua New Guinea. It is spoken over a wide region of small hamlets around the town ofKailge, as well as in Kailge itself, in aKu Waru–speaking region. It might be characterized as a network ofhomesign rather than as a single coherent language.[1] Its use of signing space is more similar to that of deaf-community sign languages than that of many village sign languages shared with the hearing community.[2]
KSL has lexical similarities with another village sign language in the region,Sinasina Sign Language.[3]
