Venezuelan Sign language or VSL (Lengua de señas venezolana or LSV) is the national deaf sign language of Venezuela. The term Venezuelan Sign Language began to be used in the 1930s. It is widely used and Venezuela has a national bilingual education program for VSL and Spanish though the language used by adults differs from that of the classroom. There is a large VSL dictionary published by the Federación Venezolana de Sordos. VSL has been used in schools since 1937.
