Ecuadorian Sign Language ({{Langx|es|Lengua de señas ecuatoriana}} or de Ecuador, LSEC) is the sign language of Ecuador.
Classification
Clark notes that Peruvian, Bolivian, Ecuadorian and Colombian sign languages "have significant lexical similarities to each other" and "contain a certain degree of lexical influence from ASL" as well, at least going by the forms in national dictionaries.[http://ling.hawaii.edu/wp-content/uploads/Clark_Brenda-Dissertation-Draft.pdf Clark Brenda dissertation]University of Hawaiʻi {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211008073506/http://ling.hawaii.edu/wp-content/uploads/Clark_Brenda-Dissertation-Draft.pdf |date=2021-10-08 }} Chilean and Argentinian share these traits, though to a lesser extent.
