hands and face instead of spoken words. It’s most commonly used by people in the Deaf community. </span></p><p><span lang="EN"><strong>How many types of sign language are there?</strong></span></p><p><span lang="EN">There are over 150 different types of sign languages that researchers have documented. Many more exist – some experts estimate around 300 to 450 types – but there isn’t an official record of exactly how many there are.</span></p><p><span lang="EN">One of the reasons for this is that sign languages often overlap. They may also have differences in dialect (a group’s specific form of a language) that make it difficult to put them in distinct categories. </span></p></section><section><h2 class="jumplink-headers" id="0b2b9b3a-054b-4be4-a636-114c469688b6-1-2">What Is American Sign Language (ASL)?</h2><p><span lang="EN">American Sign Language (ASL) is a complete language that’s different from English. It even has different grammar than English does. It has its own vocabulary, pronunciation, word order rules, and word formation.</span></p><p><span lang="EN">ASL isn't simply “signed English.” It’s an entirely separate language. There’s a sign system that was created in the 1970s called Signed Exact English (SEE). This is a word-for-word representation of spoken English, but it’s different from ASL. Instead, it uses spelled-out words with the exact same sentence structure and grammar as the spoken English language.</span></p></section><section> <p><span lang="EN"><strong>Is ASL a universal language?</strong></span></p><p><span lang="EN">Sign language is different all over the world. Just like spoken languages are unique for each country, people who use sign language in different countries communicate with different sign languages.</span></p><p><span lang="EN">Americans who speak English can typically understand someone from another English-speaking nation such as England or Australia. But someone signing with ASL wouldn’t be able to understand someone signing with British Sign Language (BSL).</span></p><p><span lang="EN">Even within one type of sign language, there can be different accents and dialects, just as there are for spoken languages. Similarly to how there are certain terms that are part of Northern American English and others that are part of Southern American English, ASL has different varieties of slang terms, signs, and phrases. This not only depends on where the person is using it, but also their age and <a href="https://www.webmd.com/sex/what-is-tantric-sex" data-crosslink-type="article" data-metrics-module="embd-lnkiclt">sex</a>. </span></p></section></div><div class="article-page " data-page="2"><section> <p><span lang="EN"><strong>Where do people use ASL?</strong></span></p><p><span lang="EN">ASL is the main language of most Americans and Canadians who are deaf or hard of hearing. Some hearing people in these places also use ASL.</span></p></section><section><pagebreak /> <p><span lang="EN"><strong>ASL history</strong></span></p><p><span lang="EN">ASL’s roots go <a href="https://www.webmd.com/back-pain/tips-for-pain-relief" data-crosslink-type="article" data-metrics-module="embd-lnkiclt">back</a> over 200 years to the 1800s. There wasn’t a single person or group who started it. Historians aren’t clear on exactly where it began. But they think it may have come from a mixture of French Sign Language (LSF) and local sign languages. </span></p><p><span lang="EN">Over time, these different local sign languages and LSF came together and formed one cohesive language. Even decades after its creation, governments, schools, and organizations didn’t recognize it as an official language. But in the 1950s, that began to shift. </span></p><p><span lang="EN">William C. Stokoe, an English professor at Gallaudet College (now University) in Washington, D.C., began studying ASL to figure out its structure and form. He eventually helped create the </span><i><span lang="EN">Dictionary of American Sign Language on Linguistic Principles</span></i><span lang="EN"> in 1965. This helped the language make its way into classrooms. It then became adopted as an official language.</span></p><p><span lang="EN">Today, ASL is the fourth most-used language in the U.S. </span></p></section><section><h2 class="jumplink-headers" id="0b2b9b3a-054b-4be4-a636-114c469688b6-2-6">American Sign Language Alphabet</h2><p><span lang="EN">The ASL alphabet is a system of shapes you make with your hands to sign the letters of the English alphabet. It’s also called the American Manual Alphabet. Even though it also uses 26 letters, it only requires 22 handshapes. Certain letters require the same handshape held at different angles or with movement that creates a separate letter. </span></p><p><span lang="EN">The ASL alphabet only uses one hand for each letter. Some other sign languages, such as British Sign Language, use two hands for one letter.</span></p><p><span lang="EN"><strong>What is fingerspelling?</strong></span></p><p><span lang="EN">Fingerspelling (also called dactylology) is the use of the ASL alphabet to spell out words with your hands letter by letter, instead of using a sign for a word or concept as a whole.</span></p><p><span lang="EN">Sometimes, signers use fingerspelling if there isn’t a sign for a certain word. For example, fingerspelling can be used for people's names, places, titles, and brands. Other times, they spell out words that have been misunderstood or are new to their conversation partner.</span></p></section></div><div class="article-page " data-page="3"><section><h2 class="jumplink-headers" id="0b2b9b3a-054b-4be4-a636-114c469688b6-3-7">Black American Sign Language vs. ASL</h2><p><span lang="EN">Black ASL is a dialect of American Sign Language (ASL). It was created within Black Deaf communities that were segregated from the wider community. Black ASL uses space, hand use, directional movement, and facial expression in ways unique to the community that created it. </span></p><p><span lang="EN">Most non-Black ASL users don’t know the language. For the Black Deaf community, it has become a symbol of unity, familiarity, and identity. </span></p></section><section><h2 class="jumplink-headers" id="0b2b9b3a-054b-4be4-a636-114c469688b6-3-8">Why Is American Sign Language Important?</h2><p><span lang="EN">ASL is a valuable way to communicate for people who are deaf or hard of hearing. Methods such as lip reading are one-way forms of communication. Most people who have their lips read by a deaf person won’t be able to read lips back. </span></p><p><span lang="EN">ASL allows members of the Deaf community to fully express themselves. It breaks down barriers, allows for healthy social skills, and creates inclusivity. </span></p><p><span lang="EN">If you’re a parent to a deaf or hard-of-hearing child, experts suggest that you expose them to language as soon as possible. This often leads them to ASL. The earlier your child starts to pick up a language, the better their development will be. </span></p><p><span lang="EN">ASL is a language very young children can learn even in the first year of life. </span></p></section><section><h2 class="jumplink-headers" id="0b2b9b3a-054b-4be4-a636-114c469688b6-3-9">Who Uses Sign Language?</h2><p><span lang="EN">Anyone can learn and use sign language.

Sign language can help bridge that gap.

For example, in spoken English, you indicate that you’re asking a question by raising the pitch of your voice or by using a specific word order. In ASL, you ask a question by raising your eyebrows, making your <a href="https://www.webmd.com/eye-health/picture-of-the-eyes" data-crosslink-type="article" data-metrics-module="embd-lnkiclt">eyes</a> wider, and leaning forward. </span></p></section></div><div class="article-page " data-page="4"><section> <p><span lang="EN">Grammar and sentence structure are different, too. Subjects, objects, verbs, and time take slightly different places in sentences. Example:</span></p><p><span lang="EN">English: I (subject) went (verb) to Ireland (object) a year ago (time).</span></p><p><span lang="EN">ASL: last year (time) me (subject) went (a combination of go + finish) Ireland (object).</span></p><p><span lang="EN">ASL typically doesn’t use separate signs for articles such as “a,” “an,” or “the.”</span></p><p><span lang="EN"><strong>What’s a sign name?</strong></span></p><p><span lang="EN">Your sign name in ASL is an individual and unique name you get from a deaf person.

It’s a separate language from English, with its own grammar, vocabulary, and sentence structures. ASL uses signs, fingerspelling with hands, and facial expressions. </span></p></section><section><h2 class="jumplink-headers" id="0b2b9b3a-054b-4be4-a636-114c469688b6-5-16">American Sign Language (ASL) FAQs</h2><p><span lang="EN"><strong>Can I teach myself American sign language?</strong></span></p><p><span lang="EN">While it’s possible to teach yourself ASL, you’ll get the best practice through a certified teacher. You’ll also want to practice with another person who knows ASL to really get the hang of it. </span></p><p><span lang="EN"><strong>Can I give myself a sign name?</strong></span></p><p><span lang="EN">Giving yourself your own sign name if you’re not a part of the Deaf community is frowned upon. This custom is similar to the Indigenous custom of giving names to honorary members from the outside. </span></p><p><span lang="EN"><strong>Is American Sign Language hard to learn?</strong></span></p><p><span lang="EN">ASL may seem difficult to learn because of its distinct grammar and sentence structure rules. The addition of hand movement adds a layer to learning that makes it more complex. But the process is similar to learning a different spoken language.</span></p></section><section> <p><span lang="EN"><strong>What’s the difference between sign language and ASL?</strong></span></p><p><span lang="EN">Sign language is the umbrella term for any language you use to communicate by hand, finger, and facial gestures instead of spoken words. American Sign Language (ASL) is a specific sign language used by people who live in the U.S. and Canada. </span></p><p><span lang="EN"><strong>How long does it take to learn American sign language?</strong></span></p><p><span lang="EN">It takes around three months to three years to have a solid working knowledge of sign language. But it can take many more years after that to have a complete, advanced understanding of ASL. Some people pick up these skills faster than others. How long it takes you will depend on how seriously you practice. If you’re able to practice often, you’ll advance quicker than if you’re more casual in your lessons. </span></p><p><span lang="EN"><strong>Is there a free way to learn ASL?</strong></span></p><p><span lang="EN">Many videos and apps are free to use and can teach you ASL. Some of them are free to download and access basic features, but you may run into fees as you get further into your learning. Make sure that any free resource you use is based on ASL in the way that the Deaf community uses it, not simply in the way a hearing person who has learned ASL would. Hearing people may not model it in the same way a deaf person would. </span></p></section></div><div class="article-page " data-page="6"><section> <p><span lang="EN"><strong>Can you learn ASL in 3 months?</strong></span></p><p><span lang="EN">While you may be able to learn many of the basics – and be good at them – in three months or less, it typically takes years to be fluent in ASL, just as it would for any other language you learn. </span></p></section></div></div><div class="related-articles" data-metrics-module="cwnav-art" data-metrics-sel="li"></div><footer><div
