Armenian Sign Language is the deaf sign language of Armenia. It is not known if it bears any relationship to Caucasian Sign Language, which was used by Armenian women during periods of mourning because of speech taboos.
Classification
Wittmann (1991)[2] posits that ArSL is a language isolate (a 'prototype' sign language).
