The Slovak Sign Language is the sign language of the deaf community in Slovakia. It belongs to the French sign-language family. Bickford (2005) found that Slovak, Czech, and Hungarian Sign formed a cluster with Romanian, Bulgarian, and Polish Sign.[2]
Despite the similarity of their oral languages, the sign languages of Slovakia and the Czech Republic are not particularly close.
