In this work there is shown illustration of 14 newly discovered forms of hand in sign language (SL) in B&H, and one photographic presentation for each of the signs in which that form of the hand is represented. The goal of this work was to visualize the newly discovered forms of hand in order to ensure their adequate practical application in everyday communication of the deaf, various studies of sign language and future scientific analysis. Considering that the analysis of the contents in study is encompassing only 425 signs SL in B&H, it can be concluded that future linguistic research, among other results in the purpose of its standardization, could discover new forms of hand.
