Hungarian Sign Language ( Hungarian Sign Language ; Hungarian Magyar Jelnyelv, Magyarországi jelnyelv ) is a sign language that is common among deaf people [2] living in Hungary . There is historical evidence that Austrian and Hungarian sign languages are related, but Bickford (2005) found that Hungarian, Slovak, and Czech sign languages form a cluster with Romanian , Bulgarian, and Polish sign languages rather than Austrian sign language.
