Romanian Sign Language

The Romanian Sign Language (Limba semnelor române, LSR) is the sign language used by deaf people in Romania. In Romania, the first organization dedicated to people with hearing impairments was the Romanian Society of the Deaf-Mute, established on 9 November 1919. It was continued by the Romanian Association of the Deaf-Mute (1952), and the National Association of the Deaf from Romania (Asociația Națională a Surzilor din România, ANSR, 1995).
