| rdfs:comment | - Sign language was a language that used manual communication instead of or in conjunction with sound to convey meaning by simultaneously combining handshapes, orientation and movement of the hands, arms or body, and facial expressions to fluidly express a speaker's thoughts. Examples of species that made use of a form of sign language included Kallidahin and Twi'leks. In 21 BBY, after being captured and imprisoned by Separatist forces, Jedi Master Eeth Koth used sign language to relay his hyperspace coordinates to the Jedi Council on Coruscant. As of 17 ABY, there were 9,057 forms of sign language in the galaxy.
- Sign Language alowed to communicate nonverbally with others who knew this language. It was used among the Kolat and ninja individuals.

| abstract | - Sign language was a language that used manual communication instead of or in conjunction with sound to convey meaning by simultaneously combining handshapes, orientation and movement of the hands, arms or body, and facial expressions to fluidly express a speaker's thoughts. Examples of species that made use of a form of sign language included Kallidahin and Twi'leks. In 21 BBY, after being captured and imprisoned by Separatist forces, Jedi Master Eeth Koth used sign language to relay his hyperspace coordinates to the Jedi Council on Coruscant. As of 17 ABY, there were 9,057 forms of sign language in the galaxy.
- Sign language (also referred to as gestural language) was a type of language where communication occurred through hand movement, instead of sound. As a language form, the use of gestures and hand signals pre-dated the spoken word in most cultures, the major exception being the Leyrons of Malkus IX who actually developed a written language first. In some cultures, sign language was accompanied with fingerspelling and speech on lip movement. Sign language was permitted on Betazed for the joining ceremony. When Victoria Miller and Lwaxana Troi were debating on who should officiate at Wyatt Miller and Deanna Troi's wedding in 2364, Lwaxana proposed that her valet Homn would do the officiating. Steven Miller argued that Homn couldn't speak to which Lwaxana responded, "He is quite adept in the act of sign language." (TNG: "Haven" ) While on a mission in the Ramatis system in 2365, Lieutenant Commander Data learned and stored five different forms of sign language in order to communicate with Riva, a deaf mediator from Ramatis III. Lieutenant Worf found the concept of sign language interesting, as its qualities of being both silent and covert could be useful in the field. (TNG: "Loud As A Whisper" ) According to the Star Trek Encyclopedia (3rd ed, p445), sign language predated the use of spoken language in all known cultures, the only known exception being the Leyrons of Malkus IX. This is a stronger statement then what was said in the episode, which talked about hand gestures rather then sign language, and merely called the Leyron's "the major exception".

It became a valuable tool for raids, commands, formations et cetera. Sign Language should only be used on raids and in tracking and combat preparation, and then still as little as possible; as Drow tend to guard this language very carefully. They would not want others to "interpret" it and learn their secrets. Sign Language is not really a language, but more a collection of signs and hand gestures that have a set meaning, mostly military, which are used on patrols. This means that with Sign Language you can not carry on full conversations. It is a simplified language for quick orders and reports. Sign Language is also not universal for all Drow: it differs from Drow city to Drow city, having developed certain "dialects", much like British and American sign languages differ from eachother. The Weasel: "Drow sign is more a series of orders and codes than a language; think along the lines of S.W.A.T team handsignals used as they breach a building. It likely has no signs for words such as "and", "if", "my", "yours" etc e.g. "wait [for] signal, attack [from] flank" is likely the kind of sentence that you could assemble, where the words in parenthesis are inferred by context, rather than actually being signed individually." On Arelith this language is known by:

In 1914 PD, xeno-linguist Dr. Adelina Arif was hired to develop a sign language which allowed humans to directely communicate with treecats by Duchess Harrington. Nimitz, Samanatha and Honor Harrington were among the first to learn it. (HH9; HH10)
