Bouakako Sign Language, known in French as la Langue des Signes Bouakako (LaSiBo), is an emerging

Yocoboué Dida, know something of the language as well, and some are fluent. The vocabulary is somewhat variable between speakers, suggesting that the language is still quite young. Based on the age of the oldest deaf signer, it is probably at least 50 years old (as of 2016).^[1]
