Big Question.!?

So does sign language develop in different languages?

Actually it does, different versions of sign language form in different countries where different languages linger!!  Sign language differs in different parts of the world but even though each form of sign language is different, it is often easier to interpret foreign sign languages than it is to interpret another language. Wherever deaf communities exist, sign language often develops.

Wikipedia has a List of Sign Languages. If you take the time to look an read over it you can see that there are quite a lot of different forms. In most cases the alphabet remains the same. The only two that were really different were English and Chinese.
