Lingwa tas-Sinjali Maltija

Il-Lingwa tas-Sinjali Maltija (LSM) hija l-lingwa tas-sinjali ta' Malta^[1]. Din il-lingwa hi relattivament ġdida u żviluppat fil-forma moderna madwar l-1980 bit-twaqqif tal-ewwel klabb tat-torox f'Malta u wara bl-użu fl-edukazzjoni tat-torox.^[2] L-istorja ta' qabel mhijiex magħrufa, imma hemm xi sinjali li juru kuntatt mal-Lingwa tas-sinjali Brittanika (BSL). Però dawn is-sinjali huma ftit u LSM ma titqiesx parti mill familja tal-BSL.^[3]

Il-popolazzjoni tat-torox f'Malta hi ta' madwar 20,800 ruħ^[4].
