New Zealand Sign Language

New Zealand Sign Language NZSL is one of the official languages of New Zealand. It is a rich language used in the Deaf community and also increasingly within the hearing community.

​

We want to promote the learning of NZSL by sharing websites that you can use to expand your knowledge of NZSL.

The "kōrero Mai - Speak to Me" series incorporates NZSL to acknowledge it's place as one of New Zealand's official lanuages.
