Ukrainian Sign Language (Template:Lang-uk) is the sign language of the deaf community of Ukraine. Ukrainian sign language belongs to a family of French Sign Languages. It is as close to Russian Sign Language as the sign varieties of various Russian cities are to each other. Worldwide awareness of Ukrainian sign language rose sharply in 2014 after Ukrainian film The Tribe, where actors communicated in Ukrainian sign language with no spoken dialogue.

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. Laboratory of sign language was established in 2006.

History

Teaching of sign language in Ukraine began in 1805 when a School for deaf children was opened in Romaniv (Novohrad-Volynsk povit). In the 1830s, schools for the deaf were opened in Lviv and Odesa. The language was the essentially the same as that taught elsewhere in the Austro-Hungarian and Russian empires.

During the Soviet occupation of Ukraine, the development of teaching methods for sign language slowed down, 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 "anomalous human beings" and described gesture language as "not a language at all, but a surrogate".

Schools

As of January 1, 2015 there were 39 preschools for deaf children in Ukraine teaching Ukrainian sign language to preschoolers throughout Ukraine 6 years or younger.; there were 61 specialized secondary schools for children with hearing impairments teaching Ukrainian sign language to Ukrainian pupils from the age of 6 to 18 (this includes both day-time schools and boarding schools);.

NGOs

The All-Ukrainian public organization of persons with disabilities uk ["Ukrainian Society of the Deaf"] ( Template:Lang-uk, UTOG) was established in 1933. Since 1959 the Ukrainian Society of the Deaf is a permanent member of the World Federation of the Deaf (WFD) as well as a member of the WFD Eastern Europe and Middle Asia Regional Secretariat. UTOG has been set up as an organizational association of Ukrainians with hearing impairments, both deaf and hearing-impaired ones, to provide them with assistance in their professional, labor and social rehabilitation, in protecting their lawful rights and interests and in asserting themselves as citizens that are fully integrated into society. Excluding hearing impaired in the temporarily Russia-occupied Ukrainian regions of Eastern Ukraine and Crimea, there were 43,108 Ukrainian nationals with hearing impairments as of January 1, 2015, of whom 38,746 persons are members of UTOG (approximately 90%).
