Sign language, mode of communication by visual language, used by hearing impaired or living with deep deafness, is also practiced by people who do not present this handicap. In other words, it can be practiced by everyone, with people recipients, hearing or deaf people. There are about 3,000 sign languages around the world.
In Madagascar, less than 1% of the population is able to master sign language and practice regularly. The vast majority of people practicing sign language are made up of specialized educators or guides, people in contact with deaf or hard of hearing people, their families and their loved ones. According to evaluations dating from 2018, Madagascar has around 700,000 to 800,000 deaf or hard of hearing schools.
