British and American use the same spoken language, English. Yet the two sign languages, British Sign Language and American Sign Language are entirely different. Korean and American spoken languages are entirely different, and the sign language system is just as different.

The Philippines have their own sign language called Fillipino Sign Language, but a good portion of FSL is based on American Sign. The School for the Deaf and Blind was established in the Philippines back in 1907. This school was founded by an American teacher, Ms. Delia Delight Rice. This school was run by American principles until the 1940s.
American Sign Language wasn't created in a certain year. It is a natural language that evolved over many centuries. It was enhanced in 1817 with the opening of the American School for the Deaf, founded by Thomas Gallaudet. Gallaudet introduced many aspects of French Sign Language to modernize and expand ASL.
