American Sign Language
American Sign Language (ASL) is a system of hand gestures and facial expressions that people
who are deaf or hard of hearing use to communicate. Did you know that ASL is the fourth most
common language in the United States?
A language of hand signs was also widely used by Native Americans of the Great Plains. The people
who shared this area, from the Mississippi River to the Rocky Mountains, spoke many different
languages. Signing was a way for people from different tribes to communicate with each other.
I'd like to translate some ASL.
