+What is American Sign Language? American Sign Language (ASL) is a complete, complex
language that employs signs made by moving the
hands combined with facial expressions and postures of
the body. It is the primary language of many North
Americans who are deaf and is one of several
communication options used by people who are deaf or
hard-of-hearing.

No one form of sign language is universal.
Different sign languages are used in different countries or regions. For example, British Sign Language
(BSL) is a different language from ASL, and Americans who know ASL may not understand BSL.
