On June 14, 1936, the CNSE, the State Confederation of the Deaf, was set up with the aim of promoting initiatives aimed at fighting for the rights of people who use Spanish sign language and also Catalan.Many years later, finally, it has been achieved that same day to be declared National Day of Languages of Spanish Sign languages, which allows to take a step towards the normalization, promotion and protection of the same.
The more these languages are known, the greater will be the knowledge about deaf and deaf blind people and thus be able to draw society's attention to that group. Sign languages are a creative response of people to this sensory limitation.They have a visual, spatial, gestural and manual character. They respond to the characteristic pattern of human language with its own visual grammar.
There are different languages of signs in the world, even countries that share the same spoken language, have different languages signed.At present, the Spanish and Catalan sign language coexist in Spain and have gone from being used in the purely domestic sphere to a situation like the present, in which it is used in all social contexts and contexts.
