The government said today that necessary provisions would be made by an Act of Parliament to make sign language a recognized means of communication.
Accordingly, the Cabinet of Ministers approved the proposal presented by Prime Minister in his capacity as the Finance Minister to advise the legal draftsman to draft the relevant bill.
The government said the Cabinet approval to accept sign language as a recognised language was granted on September 8, 2010.
“The hearing impaired community in Sri Lanka will be empowered by recognising sign language as a recognised means of communication in accessing educational needs, legal matters, health facilities, various government services and private services. Therefore, it has been identified the need to draft a bill designating the Sign Language as a formal means of communication,” it said.
