Orocovis Sign Language (LSOR; Spanish: Lengua de Señas de Orocovis) is a village sign language native to Orocovis, Puerto Rico. Distinct from both the Puerto Rican dialect of American Sign Language (ASL) and Puerto Rican Sign Language (PRSL), LSOR is a language shared by both deaf and hearing members of the community (like Martha's Vineyard Sign Language). It is spoken by about 25 to 50 mostly Afro-Caribbean families in the inland town. Many in Orocivis are bilingual in PRSL and LSOR.
