abbreviations for signed languages?

[GerardM]

Hoi,
In India there is Indian Sign Language (ins) it is also spoken in
Bangladesh. I am not a betting man but I would expect that there are more
sign languages that are or were spoken in India. Also there are more than 15
official languages spoken in India so it is non obvious what the code for
the Indian Sign Language should be.

Thanks,
     Gerard
