That's amazing! Sign language is a great way to communicate and its speed of travel is even more impressive. Thanks for sharing this fun fact with us.

Spoken languages also travel at or near the speed of light when converted into radio waves over the air, electrical signals over wires or pulses of light over fibre optic cables. Writing systems also travel at the speed of light.

By the time you rave dance your way to a sentence, the vocal language has already said what they wanted and left.

Yeah, but at the distance I can converse with another person, the difference is indiscernible.
Also spoken words travel around corners.
