Sign language is a complete language with its own grammatical rules, akin to any spoken language used worldwide. It comprises two main components: static words and ideograms. Ideograms involve hand movements and contact with various parts of the body to convey meaning. Variations in sign language are evident across different countries, necessitating comprehensive documentation of each country's sign language. In Mexico, there is a lack of formal datasets for Mexican Sign Language (MSL), to solve this issue we structure a dataset of 249 words of the MSL divided into 17 sub-sets, we use background and clothes of black color to enhance the areas of interest (hands and face), for each word we use an average of 11 individuals, from every video sequence we obtain an average of 15 frames from each individual, obtaining 31442 jpg images.
手语是一种拥有自身语法规则的完整语言，类似于全球使用的任何口语语言。它由两个主要部分组成：静态词汇和表意文字。表意文字涉及手部动作以及与身体各个部位的接触来传达意义。手语在不同国家存在明显差异，因此有必要对每个国家的手语进行全面记录。在墨西哥，缺乏墨西哥手语（MSL）的正式数据集，为了解决这个问题，我们构建了一个包含249个MSL单词的数据集，分为17个子集，我们使用黑色背景和衣服来增强感兴趣的区域（手和脸），对于每个单词，我们平均使用11个人，从每个视频序列中，我们从每个个体平均获得15帧，从而得到31442张jpg图像。
