Sign language From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation search Sign language is a system of communication in which gestures are substituted for speech, used especially by the deaf. Most different countries have their own sign language. For example, American Sign Language is used in the United States . Many hearing people may choose to learn sign language - sometimes to talk to deaf people, sometimes because they have a deaf friend or a deaf person in their family, or just because they find sign language very interesting. People can learn sign language by going to a class and learn it in a group of people. Other people can choose to learn sign language from a book (Sign language workbooks can also come with an interactive DVD) to enable students to study sign language. Deaf people can also interpret or understand speech by watching the movements of the speaker's lips if they are around hearing people who do not use sign language. This is called lip-read. Sometimes hearing people lip-read when they are trying to get more information but aren't in the same room. change Other pages Wikimedia Commons has media related to: Sign language American Sign Language VRS deaf ... change Other websites ASL browser (See lots of signs in American Sign Language) British Sign Language Learn more about British Sign Language.

Different Countries or regions have their own form. Even in America one will notice a difference in sign language between Northern and Southern signers. People from the South tend to be a bit slower in their movements. In addition, a person may notice a variation in the style. American Sign Language (ASL) is used predominantly by the Deaf and hard-of-hearing of the United States and Canada. Interpreters as well as friends and family of the deaf use sign. Furthermore, hearing parents choose to teach their infants ASL in order to decrease frustrations of communication before the baby is able to speak. Click here for your FREE 6-day sign language course However, sign language is not just for deaf and hard of hearing individuals. Another large segment of sign language users is hearing nonverbal people. They may be nonverbal because of conditions such as autism, cerebral palsy, down syndrome or speech disorders. Sign language provides a means of quick communication, especially for those whose attention spans may be short or have limited a vocabulary. ASL is a complete, complex language. Sign language continues to change and grow just like any language. For example, because of technology advancements new signs are being continuously added in order to keep up with the changes.

As deaf communities grew, people began to standardize signs, building a rich vocabulary and grammar that exists independently of any other language. A casual observer of a conversation conducted in sign language might describe it as graceful, dramatic, frantic, comic or angry without knowing what a single sign meant. There are hundreds of sign languages. Wherever there are communities of deaf people, you'll find them communicating with a unique vocabulary and grammar. Even within a single country, you can encounter regional variations and dialects like any spoken language, you're bound to find people in different regions who communicate the same concept in different ways.
