American Sign Language (ASL) is a visual-spatial language used predominantly by the Deaf and hard-of-hearing communities in the United States and Canada. It is a complete and natural language with its own unique grammar and syntax, separate from spoken English. ASL is not a universal language; different countries and regions have their own sign languages.
Black American Sign Language (BASL) is a dialect of American Sign Language (ASL) that developed within historically segregated African American Deaf communities. It features unique characteristics in handshape, placement, movement, and facial expression, reflecting both the influence of older Southern dialects of ASL and the experiences of the Black Deaf community.
