No, American Sign Language (ASL) is a grammatical language with its own rules and structure. It is not based on English grammar but has its own syntax, morphology, and syntax that is unique to ASL.

How has English influenced on ASL?

English has influenced American Sign Language (ASL) through borrowing of signs for English words, syntax, and idiomatic expressions. ASL users may incorporate fingerspelling for English words that do not have a corresponding sign, and sentence structure in ASL often mirrors that of English. However, ASL remains a distinct language with its own grammar and syntax.


Where can you find an online American Sign Language translator?

I am not aware of a program that can interpret English text to ASL. There are programs that change the English word into an ASL sign but this is not ASL: what you get is series of signs in English word order, which is not ASL. ASL is not based on English grammar, structure; it has it's own grammar and structure. If you look at certain websites you can see how certain common phrases are signed.
