    Abstract


    Abstract:

    Deaf people in Haiti have stated that they use a distinct language, namely Haitian Sign Language (LSH). It has yet to be documented or described. This article is the first attempt at such a description based on a research collaboration between Deaf Haitians and American signed language linguists. Here we describe the language community and its language.
