Can Chinese(tone language) deaf people talk?

Question

Deaf people can’t hear, but trough learning they are able to speak(talk), in an understandable way.

Do the way deaf people speak have a name(no, not language sign, when they talk)?

Is this even possible in Mandarin/Cantonese? Because mimicking the tones witouth a proper understanding of sound seems really hard.

Regards.

There is actually a [Chinese](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_Sign_Language), [Taiwanese](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taiwan_Sign_Language), and [Hong Kong](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hong_Kong_Sign_Language) sign language! CSL uses an alphabetic [fingerspelling](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fingerspelling) for pinyin, so it doesn’t need tones, because you’re essentially “signing the written language.”
