Chilean Sign Language, or Lengua de Señas Chilena (LSCh), is the sign language of Chile's seven deaf institutions. It is used for interpretation on television. It is used by about 500,000 Chileans.[citation needed]
Fingerspelling
The manual alphabet of LSCh has 27 letters, and, as in many sign languages, is used to spell names words that do not have standard signs.
Dictionaries
LSCh has a couple of standard Spanish-to-LSCh dictionaries, such as the Diccionario Bilingüe Lengua de Señas Chilena-Español.[3]
