Lyons Sign Language is reported to be a sign language of the Lyon region of France. The number of current users is not attested, and it is not even known if it ever existed.[2] If it did, it was apparently not intelligible with nor related to French Sign Language, which developed in Paris.
Classification
Wittmann (1991),[3] commenting on its listing in Ethnologue (11th ed., 1988) but without further information, posits that Lyons Sign Language is a language isolate (in his terms, a "prototype" sign language).
