Talk:Chinese Sign Language
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I made the change from French Sign Language to British Sign Language because FSL DID influence ASL; BSL didn't. Clerc returned to the United States with Gallaudette and opened the first school for the deaf (Hartfors Asylum for the Deaf and Dumb) and modified FSL to create ASL. Note that ASL and FSL use a one-handed alphabet while BSL uses two hands. BSL is exptemely different from ALS and FSL.
