has gloss	eng: Urubú Sign Language (also known as "Urubú-Kaapor Sign Language") is a sign language used by a small community of Indigenous Brazilians in the state of Maranhão. Linguist Jim Kakumasu observed in 1968 that the number of deaf people in the community was 7 out of a population of 500. This relatively high ratio of deafness (1 in 75) has led to both hearing and deaf members of the community using the language, and most hearing children grow up bilingual in the spoken and signed languages. Other Indian tribes in the region have also been reported to use sign languages.

has gloss	nor: Urubú-tegnspråk er et tegnspråk brukt i et lite samfunn av brasilianske indianere i staten Maranhão. Lingvisten Jim Kakamasu observerte i 1968 at 7 av de 500 personene i samfunnet var døve. Denne relativt høye andelen døve (én døv per 75. hørende) har ført til at både døve og hørende medlemmer av samfunnet bruker tegnspråket, og at de fleste hørende barn vokser opp med både talespråket og tegnspråket.
