There are many different types/dialects of sign languages used in the US alone. American Sign Language is used in mainly the Deaf Culture, or those who can not hear at all. ASL has its own grammar structure, which makes it difficult to use it interchangeably with English. Signed Exact English is a sign-based language that is used by many people in the Hard of Hearing community because it goes side-by-side with the structure of the English Language.

How do you do sigh language in french?

Salut: Some of the letters are different than in american (a, j, p, and a couple others), and of course there are different signs for some words. Even in the US, the signs might change as one travels from the north to the south, for example. sign languange is a language, and has all of the characteristics of other languages (dialects, word changes, different meanings, and, if you can understand me, different sounds).
