Samoan Sign Language is the deaf sign language, or perhaps languages, of the Samoan Islands. It's not clear if the sign used in Samoa and American Samoa are the same language or if they are even related.
A short dictionary has been compiled for Samoan Sign Language, or perhaps separate dictionaries for Samoan and American Samoan Sign Language.[1][2]
The language of Samoa is based on Australian Sign Language, though it has local signs for Samoan food.[3]
