International Sign (IS) is a pidgin sign language[1] which is used in a variety of different contexts, particularly as an international auxiliary language at meetings such as the World Federation of the Deaf (WFD) congress, in some[2] European Union settings,[3][4][5] and at some UN conferences,[3][5][6] at events such as the Deaflympics, the Miss & Mister Deaf World, and Eurovision,[7] and informally when travelling and socialising.

Linguists do not agree on what the term International Sign means precisely, and empirically derived dictionaries are lacking.
