Flemish Sign Language
Flemish Sign Language (Dutch: Vlaamse Gebarentaal, VGT) is a deaf sign language of Belgium. It is closely related to French Belgian Sign Language, but they are now generally recognized as distinct languages. VGT is estimated to include around 6,000 sign-language users (Loots et al., 2003).
