Table of Contents ASL Linguistics ASL as a foreign language Learning ASL and ASL Educational Programs ASL Dictonaries Reader's comments Sign Language Linguistics American Sign Language (ASL) is a complex visual-spatial language that is used by the Deaf community in the United States and English-speaking parts of Canada. It is a linguistically complete, natural language. It is the native language of many Deaf men and women, as well as some hearing children born into Deaf families. ASL shares no grammatical similarities to English and should not be considered in any way to be a broken, mimed, or gestural form of English. In terms of syntax, for example, ASL has a topic-c Read More Go to Site

Indeed, the linguistic research in this area is so overwhelming that the question of whether signed languages are languages is rarely debated anymore. This page will of Read More Go to Site

		Read ANY text as if it were being finger spelled - 2006 Update! ^Votes:0 Welcome to the UPDATED Fingerspelling Page! While trying to learn the American manual alphabet I discovered a computer method to read text as if it were being finger spelled. All one needs is a Windows word-processor (or something equivalent) and a sign-language font. I'm quite happy with the result and think it will interest any persons who are learning the American manual alphabet themselves. The method should also work for other manual alphabets (such as the two-handed alphabet used in the UK) should fonts ever be made for them. The process is illustrated below using the Gallaudet font. You can download the Gallaudet font from the Yamada Language Center at the University of Oregon.
