History

Most countries have their own Sign Language! Many people think that there is only one Sign Language. If this was true which system would deaf people around the world use? Would it be Mandarin Sign Language? Is this the language that most people use than any other? Would it be based on an English language? Australian Sign Language, British Sign Language or American Sign Language? Australian Sign Language comes from British Sign Language! We use the second handed alphabet as does Irish Sign Language which is originally from France and uses a one handed alphabet.
