It's very typical for Signed Languages to have multiple centers usually the schools for Deaf. Swiss German Sign Language for example has five centers for Bern, Basel, Zürich, Luzern and St. Gallen. People say today that Swiss German Sign Language has five dialects and this usually wows people, even the Alemannic Swiss who themselves have many variants in their Alemannic dialect.
