I mean, you kind of make it sound like 'sign language' is an actual language you can learn?

Technically no.

K. What is technically the first language?

Sumerian is the first written language. However, since people could have used sounds to communicate before we could even consider it a language, there's no way to measure what the first REAL language is.
