Sign Language: A language of gestures
American Sign Language (ASL) is used by many deaf and hard of hearing people for communication. Sign Languages are highly structured linguistic systems with grammatical complexity and idioms. American Sign Language creates words and sentences by combining signs, facial expressions and gestures. It is not just a gesture version of verbal languages that local people use for communication. It also undergoes regionalization and shifts in tone like any other language. However, sign languages are different in each country. American Sign Language (ASL) and British Sign Language, for instance, are completely different.
An interesting fact about Sign Language:
The left hemisphere of our brain is responsible for language coordination and speech production. Any damage to the left hemisphere can affect sign language in the same way it affects spoken language. The person may be able to produce signs but will not be able to convey them in correct grammatical manner. Incorrect signs produce a strange accent which is not understandable.
