Is there a Canadian sign language?

Yes, there is a Canadian sign language called Langue des signes québécoise (LSQ). It is the primary sign language of the deaf community in Quebec, Canada. It is distinct from American Sign Language (ASL), although there are some similarities.

There are also other sign languages used in Canada, including:

* American Sign Language (ASL): While not officially recognized as a Canadian sign language, ASL is widely used across Canada, especially in English-speaking regions.

* Indigenous sign languages: Various Indigenous communities across Canada have their own sign languages, often distinct from LSQ and ASL.

It's important to remember that sign language is a living language that evolves and varies depending on the region and community.
