Best Answer

"The ASL alphabet is based on French sign language and was standardized by Thomas Gallaudet and Laurent Clerc."

"Students at the National Institution for Deaf-Mutes in France (see history to learn more) all came in with their own personal systems of gestures and ways of communicating. Gradually, a system evolved between the students and the teachers at the Institute and is probably what led to the creation of a French alphabet, from which we get the American manual alphabet."

The ancient Phoenicians developed 30 signs to create the Semitic alphabet in 1600 BC. This alphabet is considered to be the foundation of almost all alphabets that would follow.
