ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Vocabulario manual de las lenguas castellana y mexicana

Okay, so you know how people use their hands to say some things, like waving hello or pointing at something? Well, some people, like those who speak Mexican and Spanish, have a special language they use with their hands to talk to each other. It's called the "vocabulario manual de las lenguas castellana y mexicana."

It's like playing a game of charades, except instead of acting out words, you use your hands to make gestures that represent words and ideas. For example, if you want to say "I love you," you might make a shape with your hand that looks like a heart and then point to yourself and the person you're talking to.

This sign language was developed over many years by different groups of people who wanted to be able to communicate with each other, even if they didn't speak the same language. It's a really cool way to connect with people and express yourself, even if you can't use words!
