Ukrainian Sign Language is the sign language of the deaf community in Ukraine. Ukrainian sign language belongs to a family of French Sign Languages. Worldwide awareness of Ukrainian sign language rose sharply in 2014 after Ukrainian film The Tribe, where actors communicated in Ukrainian sign language only with no spoken dialogues, received critical acclaim.

Teaching of Ukrainian sign language in Ukraine began in 1830 році, when the Lviv School for Deaf Children was opened. Afterwards, in 1834 similar deaf school was opened also in Odesa. In modern Ukraine the governing body that publishes language books and research articles and regulates the methods of teaching Ukrainian sign language is the Laboratory of sign language at the Institute of Special Education of National Academy of Educational Sciences of Ukraine.

History

This section needs expansion. You can help by adding to it.

During the Soviet occupation of Ukraine, the development of teaching methods for Ukrainian sign language (or any sign language for that matter) in the Soviet educational system was stalled, to a great extend due to the negative feedback that Joseph Stalin provided to sign languages in his 1950 article Marxism and Problems of Linguistics in which Stalin called deaf people "abnormal and tongless" and described sign language as "not a language at all, but a surrogate".

Schools

According to Kyiv Post article from 2010, there are 59 deaf schools teaching Ukrainian sign language in Ukraine. Furthermore, there are 35 kindergartens for deaf children in Ukraine.
