Just like spoken languages, sign languages can vary greatly in vocabulary, grammar, and syntax from one country to another.
ASL is not universal—there are different sign languages used around the world. It is not a direct translation of English—ASL has its own grammar and syntax. Not all deaf people use ASL—some may prefer a different form of communication, such as lip reading or written English.
