Keresan Sign Language, also known as Keresan Pueblo Indian Sign Language (KPISL) or Keresign, is a village sign language spoken by many of the inhabitants of a Keresan pueblo with a relatively high incidence of congenital deafness (the pueblo is not identified in sources, but the cited population suggests it is Zia Pueblo, New Mexico).[improper synthesis?]
Keresan Sign Language developed locally, and is unrelated to the trade language Plains Indian Sign Language.
