Cape Verdian Sign Language
Cape Verdian Sign Language (''Língua Gestual Caboverdiana)'' is the sign language used by the deaf community in Cape Verde, numbering around 1500–4000. It is descended from Portuguese sign language and is mutually intelligible with it at the present, although it contains some local adaptations. Cape Verdian sign has not been under any university research. However, a Cape Verdian Sign dictionary was released in 2019. In 2010, a school for children who are deaf was established in Cape Verde. Another deaf school was also established in Praia Praia (, Portuguese for "beach") is the capital and largest city of Cape Verde.

Swedish Sign Language Family
The Swedish Sign Language family is a language family of sign languages, including Swedish Sign Language, Portuguese Sign Language, and Finnish Sign Language. Swedish SL started about 1800. Wittmann (1991) proposes that it descends from British Sign Language. Regardless, Swedish SL in turn gave rise to Portuguese Sign Language (1823) and Finnish Sign Language (1850s), the latter with local admixture; Finnish and Swedish Sign are mutually unintelligible. '' Ethnologue'' reports that Danish Sign Language is largely mutually intelligible with Swedish Sign, though Wittmann places DSL in the French Sign Language family The French Sign Language (LSF, from ''langue des signes française'') or Francosign family is a language family of sign languages which includes French Sign Language and American Sign Language.
