Bamako Sign Language also known as Malian Sign Language or LaSiMa (Langue des Signes Malienne) is a sign language that developed outside of the Malian educational system in the urban tea-circles of Bamako where deaf men gathered after work. It is used predominantly by men and is threatened by the educational use of American Sign Language which is the language of instruction for those deaf children who go to school.
