Český znakový jazyk (ČZJ) is Czech Sign Language. Czechland has its own sign language. The Institute for the Deaf and Dumb in Prague opened in 1786. It was the 5th such institution in Europe.
Every sign language has its own finger alphabet. The Czech version is two-handed. They have a sign for the accent marks.
There are around 10 000 people in the country that can use it. Czech and Slovak are pretty much mutually understandable when spoken. This does not carry over to sign language. I'm told that Czech Sign Language isn't that close to Slovak Sign Language.
