Extinct village sign language of India
Naga Hills Sign Language was a village sign language of Nagaland, India used in the early 20th century, when a high incidence of deafness was observed among communities of the Naga hills. The sign language was used by both deaf and hearing members of the community. It was last reported in 1921.
