Sumario:The present work aims to analyze the geographical variants of the Brazilian Sign Language (Libras), specifically with respect to the signs used in Goiás and Mato Grosso do Sul to designate the months of January to December. The research, of a documentary nature, investigated the signs listed in the documents published by the Training Center for Education Professionals and Assistance for Persons with Deafness (CAS). The analysis of the data was based on the theoretical basis of Variationist Sociolinguistics and on the assumptions provided by the linguistic studies of Libras. The collected signals were described based on the  arameters and order of Signal Language Writing (ELiS). The verification of the corpus allowed the  dentification of twenty-one distinct signals, with variation in one, two or all parameters.
