Study Notes

American Sign Language (ASL) Alphabet

The American Sign Language alphabet consists of 26 manual handshapes, representing the 26 letters of the English alphabet.

Fingerspelling in ASL

Fingerspelling is used to spell out words that do not have a sign equivalent in ASL.
The primary purpose of fingerspelling is to provide a way to communicate words that are not commonly used or are specific to a particular context.

Communicating in ASL

Knowing only the ASL alphabet is not enough to communicate effectively in ASL.
ASL is a complex language with its own grammar, syntax, and vocabulary, requiring a comprehensive understanding to communicate fluently.

Encountering Unknown Words

When encountering a word you don't know in ASL, the recommended approach is to fingerspell the word.
Fingerspelling allows the communication to continue, and the recipient can try to understand the context or ask for clarification.
