Norwegian Sign Language, or NSL (Norwegian: norsk tegnspråk, NTS), is the principal deaf sign language Norway. There are many sign language organizations and some television programs broadcast in NSL in Norway. The Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation airs Nyheter på tegnspråk (News in Sign Language) daily and Tid for tegn (Time for Signs) weekly.

Norway is in the process of making NSL an official language.[1]
