Honduran Sign Language, also known as "Lengua de Señas Hondureñas" (LESHO), is the dominant sign language used in Honduras. American Sign Language is also used; the two are apparently not related.
^a Sign-language names reflect the region of origin. Natural sign languages are not related to the spoken language used in the same region. For example, French Sign Language originated in France, but is not related to French. Conversely, ASL and BSL both originated in English-speaking countries but are not related to each other; ASL however is related to French Sign Language.
^b Denotes the number (if known) of languages within the family. No further information is given on these languages.
