Selangor Sign Language

Selangor Sign Language (SSL), also known as Kuala Lumpur Sign Language (KLSL), is a sign language used in Malaysia. It was originally based on American Sign Language (ASL) but has diverged significantly enough to now be considered a language in its own right. It is used mainly in the state of Selangor, rather than Kuala Lumpur, so the Deaf themselves call it Selangor Sign Language.

Like Penang Sign Language (PSL), it now mainly used by older people, although many younger people can understand it.
