Peruvian Sign Language (LSP by its acronym in Spanish: "lengua de señas peruana") (Glottocode: peru1235, ISO 639-3: prl) is a Peruvian language created and used by the Deaf community in Peru. It has been officially recognized by Peruvian law since 2010.[2] It is not clear how many users there are in the country; the most recent general census registered little more than 10,000,[3] but the more specific census on people with special needs found around half a million people with hearing disabilities.[4]

Variations exist in several geographically and among generations and religious groups,[5][6] while the variety used in Lima is the most prestigious one. The government has tried to integrate deaf students into mainstream educational programs with no real success, resulting in low levels of education for deaf students.[7] On the other hand, deaf social gatherings and private schools keep the Peruvian Sign Language strong.[5]

Classification

Clark[8] notes that Peruvian, Bolivian, Ecuadorian and Colombian sign languages "have significant lexical similarities to each other" and "contain a certain degree of lexical influence from ASL" as well (30% in the case of LSP), at least going by the forms in national dictionaries. Chilean and Argentinian share these traits, though to a lesser extent. Clark counts the lexical similarities to Peruvian SL as Ecuadorian (54%), Bolivian (53%), Colombian (47%), Chilean (41%), and Argentinean (33%).

[es] Lengua de señas peruana

La Lengua de Señas Peruana (siglas: LSP) (Glottocode: peru1235, ISO 639-3: prl) es una lengua originaria peruana, creada y utilizada por la comunidad sorda en el Perú. Como toda lengua, posee su propia sintaxis, gramática y léxico, diferentes de las lenguas orales en el Perú. Al igual que otras lenguas minoritarias usadas en el Perú, actualmente está reconocida por el Estado mediante la Ley 29535,[1] ya debidamente reglamentada.[2] La LSP cuenta con algunas influencias de vocabulario en señas utilizado en otros países, como la lengua de señas americana, entre otras. El Censo Nacional del 2017 registra poco más de diez mil usuarios de LSP, aunque probablemente se trate de muchos más.[3]
