**Chiangmai Sign Language** (also known as Old or Original Chiangmai Sign Language) is a [deaf-community sign language](/source/Deaf-community_sign_language) of Thailand that arose among deaf people who migrated to [Chiang Mai](/source/Chiang_Mai) for work or family. The language is moribund, with all speakers born before 1960. Younger generations have switched to [Thai Sign Language](/source/Thai_Sign_Language).
