Peruvian Sign Language (PRL) is the deaf sign language of Peru. It is used primarily outside the classroom.
Wittmann (1991) posits that PRL is a language isolate (a 'prototype' sign language), though one developed through stimulus diffusion from an existing sign language, likely French Sign Language.
