Valencian Sign Language(Valencian:Llengua de signes valenciana[ˈʎeŋɡwaðeˈsiŋnezvalensiˈana]), orLSV,[2]is asign languageused by deaf people in theValencian Community,Spain.It is closely related toCatalan Sign Language(LSC); they are variously described as similar languages or as dialects of a single language.
Valencia was the first Spanishautonomous communityto support the use of sign language in the Statute of Autonomy, but does not specify which sign language is to be used. The use of LSV in Valencia has, however, diminished and is restricted to administrative communications and occasional usage in the media.
