American Sign Language American Sign Language is the dominant sign language in the United States, English-speaking Canada and parts of Mexico. American Sign Language is usually abbreviated ASL. Although it has also been known as Ameslan or Amslan, these abbreviations are not generally used and are considered obsolete. As with other sign languages, or more properly, visual-gestural-spatial languages, its grammar and syntax are separate and distinct from the spoken language(s) in its area of influence. There has been no reliable survey of the number of people who use ASL as their primary language; estimates range from 200,000 to 2 million (http://library.gallaudet.edu/dr/faq-asl-rank.html).

Nicaraguan Sign Language Nicaraguan Sign Language (or ISN, Idioma de Señas de Nicaragua) is a sign language developed in isolation from other sign languages in the 1970s in Nicaragua. It was developed when the Sandinista government created a school for deaf children in Nicaragua (there had previously been no such public institution). The language itself was not developed by the government, but evolved naturally from communication among those deaf students.
