Azerbaijani Sign Language (Azerbaijani: Azərbaycan işarət dili, AİD) is the sign language used by the deaf community in Azerbaijan. As with other sign languages, AİD has a unique grammar that differs from the oral languages used in the region. There are approximately 31,000 deaf people in Azerbaijan.[citation needed] Azerbaijani Sign Language is not recognized as an official language by Azerbaijan, nor does not have any language codes.[citation needed]
Azerbaijani Sign Language is based on Russian Sign Language.
History[edit]
There are two Republican Special Boarding Schools in Azerbaijan that only serve members of the Azerbaijani deaf community. Although their sign language is not officially recognized, Azerbaijan's deaf community is a member of the World Deaf Federation (WDF). In international conferences and meetings, Russian Sign Language is used instead of Azerbaijani Sign Language.[1]
