Do other countries have their own sign language, just as with spoken languages?

Answer 1

Ashton,

Yes there are different sign languages in different countries the same as there are different spoken languages. The sign language in a particular country is not a signed version of the spoken language. So American Sign Language and English are separate distinct languages. Another example... British Sign Language and American Sign Language ate very different from each other even though both countries speak English.

Hope this clarifies your question. I will be happy to teach you ASL if you would like to begin lessons.
