Several Zimbabwean sign languages developed independently among deaf students in different Zimbabwean schools for the deaf starting in the 1940s. It is not clear how many languages they are, as little research has been done; Masvingo School Sign is known to be different than that of other schools, but each school apparently has a separate sign language, and these are different from the language or languages used outside of the schools. American Sign Language is reported to be used, but it is not clear to what extent.
