Kailge Sign Language is a well-developed village sign language of Western Highlands Province, Papua New Guinea. It is spoken over a wide region of small hamlets around the town of Kailge, as well as in Kailge itself, in a Ku Waru–speaking region. It might be characterized as a network of homesign rather than as a single coherent language.[1] Its use of signing space is more similar to that of deaf-community sign languages than that of many village sign languages shared with the hearing community.[2]
