The German Sign Language family is a small language familyofsign languages, including German Sign Language, Polish Sign Language and probably Israeli Sign Language.[1] The latter also had influence from Austrian Sign Language, which is unrelated, and the parentage is not entirely clear.

Anderson (1979) suggested that Swedish Sign, German Sign and British Sign share one origin in a "North-West European" sign language.[2]
