Does knowing American Sign Language along with English make you bilingual?

AnswerYes it does make you bilingual because ASL is not English. It has its own grammar and rules. Pure ASL does not convey English; it conveys ASL, as it is a separate language in its own right. Therefore, you are technically bilingual if you know both English and ASL. ANSWER/FOOTNOTETo know both a sign language and a spoken language is to be technically considered a "bimodal bilingual" (spoken and signed are the "modes" to which "bimodal" refers).In some secondary schools, colleges, and universities in the U.S.A., students can offer (or study) ASL to meet a foreign language requirement.

Answer from Summershorti:I take ASL classes, and I don't think there is a "because" in ASL language. You know, in ASL the language is different so there are variations.In ASL, the term 'because' is the exact same as the sign for 'why'. In ASL, a lot of statements are said by asking questionsExample: My name is Daniel"MY-NAME-WHAT-D-A-N-I-E-L"
