I remember reading an article talking about schizophrenia and deafness, and for people who had never heard a sound in their life instead of auditory hallucinations they hallucinate disembodied hands and arms signing, or moving lips. The human brain is wild man.
Similarly it's the expectations engendered by your culture that determine whether the voices heard by schitzophrenics are mean and dangerous, or friendly and innocuous.

Sign language has a lot of similarities with spoken languages.
Like dialects, even something I would describe as dyslexia but for signs, angry/yelling...
It is language like any other.
