Abstract
This visual-manual modality is used in sign language to transfer meaning. Sign language is strongly related to manual groups of deaf people.Sign language is used by deaf people for a very long time, most written records about sign language trace based to the fifth century.
Sign languages are seen as complex as many spoken language besides they are not real language as most people think.
Sign languages are thought to be mime in some words, typical and arbitrary. It is not important for this type of language to have a visual relationship to their references. Spoken language is quite different from iconicity while the first is not onomatopoetic, the second is more systematic and more common use in sign language.
