HISTORY- Notes American Sign Language n. Abbr. ASL The primary sign language used by deaf and hearing-impaired people in the United States and Canada, devised in part by Thomas Hopkins Gallaudet on the basis of sign language in France. Also called Ameslan. Dictionary says Main Entry: American Sign Language Function: noun Date: 1960 : a sign language for the deaf in which meaning is conveyed by a system of articulated hand gestures and their placement relative to the upper body (Hey, did you notice the date of that entry from Merriam-Webster? 1960! ASL hasn't been "recognized" as a language for very long has it? Oh sure, the language itself has been around since the early 1800's but it wasn't until 1960 that "experts" started recognizing it as a full-blown autonomous language.

History Notes Have you noticed differences between signs in Master ASL red book, and those your teacher uses? Maybe a Deaf person has taught you some signs that closely resemble the signs you’ve learned in this book but aren’t the same. As you meet Deaf people you will encounter slight differences between signs, called Variations. There are certain signs that vary from region to region, with some differences more well-known than others. In many ways, these sign variations resemble regional differences in spoken languages. Do you say soda, pop, or cola? The answer depends on where you live and your own preference. The same variation between signs is seen in ASL. Be sure to use the sign variation preferred by your local Deaf community unless you want to sign with an accent!
