The French Belgian Sign Language (French: Langue des signes de Belgique francophone; LSFB) is the deaf sign language of the French language Community of Belgium, a country in Western Europe. It and Flemish Sign Language are very closely related (and distantly if at all related to French Sign Language), but generally regarded today as distinct languages.
Legal recognition
By decree of 22 October 2003, the Parliament of the French Community recognised the Sign Language of French-speaking Belgium.
