Line 8:
Signed Language has nothing to do with the trope of [[Talking with Signs]] which involves characters communicating via signs. It is related to [[Hand Signals]], which range from pantomime to a reduced vocabulary, sometimes with a sparse grammar. Especially within fantasy works, it is not uncommon to have races or nations where Hand Signals have evolved into a Signed Language, typically to provide a method to communicate in secrecy.

* The [[Bronze Age]] ''[[Teen Titans (Comic Book)|Teen Titans]]'' version of Jericho communicated only in sign language (his vocal cords had been cut by his father's enemies). If he spoke at all, it was because he was [[Grand Theft Me|possessing someone]]. Marv Wolfman also prohibited the use of thought bubbles when writing him in the comic, leading George Perez to get creative when displaying hand gestures. This trait is carried over into his animated appearances.
