Can anyone tell or source an opinion on sign laungages, which is more EU-compatible? What resources can I use online? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I was thinking if can learn a sign language, preferably the one not completely localized, but what I got is a total confusion. There are different SLs for China, India, US, Russia and other countries, all seem incompatible between each other. Is there one to pick if I want to be compatible with EU people, but also as much others as possible?

Yeah, seems like it is extremely fragmented.

I can't offer real advice, but these seem like OK starting points:

Don't know, but I'd say focus more on the immediate areas you plan to be in. Really surprised there's not an international or at least EU standard, but I'm not seeing one recommended at a quick glance.
