Communicating in a new way
American Sign Language (ASL) is the primary language of the deaf community in North America(but not limited to those borders). It uses a combination of hand movements, facial expressions, and body posture.
The Alphabet in sign language is the starting point for anyone who wants to communicate with a Deaf person. There are more we can do with these sign language. We can communicate underwater/space/through glass/in noisy place(where we can’t speak/communicating)
Using the alphabet in sign language is also called finger/Hand spelling. It is commonly used in a few different situations, such as: *Spelling out a person's name, before you get to know their personalized 'name sign'. *Spelling out a place name or location before you get to know its designated sign.
Why this :
When communicating with a Deaf person from another region (dialects and signs can be different, so being able to fingerspell is a great back-up)
ASL is a common sign language – though by far not the only one – for people who are d/Deaf or hard of hearing (deaf refers to the physical condition of deafness, while Deaf refers to belonging to the Deaf community). . ASL “entails five parameters: handshapes, palm orientation, location (space on the body, around the signer), movement and of course, facial expressions”
Fact : About 15% of adults in America report hearing loss, and about 1 million use sign language to communicate.
