<div class="moz-cite-prefix">The English Wikipedia article on "sign
languages" has some rather extensive comments about language
family relationships. I'm not vouching for the accuracy of the
information there, but it would be a place to start.<br>

There is not, however, a graphical map. Indeed, given the
complexity of the relationships involved, I wonder if a map would
even be helpful.<br>

<div>My students are working on Signing Naturally the
country unit and picking different countries to research
what the Deaf community is like. I had a student ask if
there are families of sign just like there are families of
spoken language, ie romance languages etc. I know there
are but I am looking for some sort of visual or map that
illustrates this in an easy to understand format. I know
these exist for spoken language. Does anyone know if
something like this exists for sign?</div>
<div>Thanks!</div>
