Algerian Jewish Sign Language or Gharadaia Sign Language The Ghardaia Sign Language, also known as Algerian Jewish Sign Language, is an endangered village sign language originally from Ghardaïa, Algeria that is now spoken in Israel. The Jewish community of Ghardaïa emigrated to France and Israel in 1966. However, as deaf Algerian Jews tended to marry deaf Israelis from other backgrounds, the language of the home became Israeli sign language. GSL is therefore moribund, being used primarily by deaf immigrants with their siblings and parents, and ironically more widespread among hearing immigrants, who are not part of israeli deaf culture, than among the deaf.
