Deaf Sign Language's
Hi all
I know it has been a while that I last written on the Blog. Here I am now! I was doing the market research and building connection with the Deaf community around the world.
UNITED KINGDOM
British Sign Language
It's my first language is British Sign Language and it is the most effective deaf communication rather than trying to lipread which it is so hard work. For example, can you try to lipread "Diet Coke" and "Tango"? Both lip movement are the same. Listening is impossible as I said in the last Blog about being Deaf everyday - Can you type a qwerty keyboards with missing buttons? Same things as a Deaf person trying to listen. See the links http://sadlierstore.blogspot.co.uk/2014/03/being-deaf-everyday.html
I learnt lots of different sign language through the market research. But firstly, let me show you the basic of the British Sign Language.
NEW ZEALAND
New Zealand Sign Language
I learnt New Zealand Sign Language through the internet search and video. It is a quite similar to the British Sign Language BUT it is not the same. For example "Interpreter" sign language is very different between NZSL and BSL. They called themselves as Deaf Aotearoa.

UNITED STATE OF AMERICA
America Sign Language
I learnt a lots about the America Sign Language, they are very strong Deaf community and they got a lot of pride about their own Deaf cultures and sign language.
America Sign Language are complete different from the British Sign Language and you properly thought that we share the same English language but the sign language aren't.
America Sign Language Alphabet is NOT same as the British Sign Language, see below.
America Sign Language use a hand and British Sign Language use two hands.
There is a very good video to learn basic America Sign language and I love this video. See the video in the below.

AUSTRALIA
Australia Sign language
Australia Sign Language is commonly known as AUSLAN because it's short for "Australia Sign Language" (see the bold).
Auslan is more similar to New Zealand Sign Language than British Sign language and using two hands alphabet.
I have learnt Auslan Alphabet is same as British Sign Language Alphabet.
I discovered it is quite similar to the British Sign language, the only different is just like accent.
See the video which it is useful to know what is Auslan like.
So, now you know how to sign in basic Auslan.

Canadian Deaf mostly use the America Sign Language is the same language as the United State of America in the above. Also, they use the ASL finger spelling as well.
Langue des signes québécoise
It's Quebec Sign Language which it is different from the America Sign Language and they are using the French Language.
Maritimes Sign Language
Maritime Sign Language (MSL), is a village sign language derived from British Sign Language and formerly used in Nova Scotia, Newfoundland, New Brunswick, and Prince Edward Island, Canada. It is still remembered by some elderly people and some people called it as Nova Scotian Sign Language. What I learnt it is a mostly finger-spelling in America Sign Language, few British Sign Language and Quebec Sign Language words. It's becoming extinct Language.

As you see that my head is full of the different sign language and it is bizarre because these countries main language is the English Language. I will studies more about these Sign language to make myself very effective in commutation with the Deaf people around the world.
