Of or relating to the culture surrounding deaf users of sign languages.
Today, sign languages are the means of communication and interaction in Deaf communities around the world and have been shown to contain all the linguistic complexities and potentials of spoken languages (Stokoe, 1960/2005).
There are Deaf clubs in many cities, but the clubs are just a part of the larger community of Deaf people.
