American Sign Language (ASL) is used to communicate for deaf people.
American Sign Language (ASL) is related to French Sign Language (LSF), as it was heavily influenced by LSF due to the work of Laurent Clerc and Thomas Gallaudet in the early 19th century. The roots of ASL can also be traced back to Martha's Vineyard Sign Language, used on Martha's Vineyard in the 18th and 19th centuries.
American Sign Language was once known {or referred to} (primarily by hearing people, or disability advocacy groups such as the American Red Cross) as Ameslan. There is no distinction between Ameslan and American Sign Language, except that the term "Ameslan" is no longer in prominent usage, wheras the terms American Sign Language and the abbreviated form ASL are. Currently, it is more proper to refer to this Sign Language as American Sign Language rather than Ameslan.
