Yep American Sign Language. Like this
I watched it last night. It was like watching metropolis or other classic silent films. They had background music while the rest was presented through sign. It was a great episode too. There's only one plot flaw in the episode that might be resolved in the next episode so not counting it yet.

It would have made sense if there was a universal sign language.
That way deaf people would have an advantage over all other people as they could communicate with people of other nations without having to learn a new language.
STANDARDISE EVERYTHING!
While I don't entirely agree with "standardising everything" it does suck that there's not some kind of language that's considered "basic" for people to learn. I mean there's the IPA but that doesn't have a language to go along with it. It's just a means of letting linguists know how to write other languages down that don't have a script. Would be awesome if in schools around the world it was a requirement to learn "basic" as well. Even if lots of people suck at "basic" it'd at least be a communication start.
