Cape Verdian Sign Language (Língua Gestual Caboverdiana)[1] is the sign language used by the deaf community in Cape Verde, numbering around 1500–4000. It is descended from Portuguese sign language and is mutually intelligible with it at the present, although it contains some local adaptations.[2] Cape Verdian sign has not been under any university research.[3][4] However, a Cape Verdian Sign dictionary was released in 2019.[5][2][6]

In 2010, a school for children who are deaf was established in Cape Verde. Another deaf school was also established in Praia.[3]
