@anthonyheaney2008 Hi there, thank you for checking out the video... I am unsure what you mean, its Irish Sign Language, it is an language in itself entirely... It can be translated to either I presume but it is the deaf sign language used in Ireland only... It is not british sign language, I dont know if that helps?! :) :)

I'm from New Zealand and am currently learning NZSL, I decided to check out your video to see if any of the fingerspelling signs are the same. Our alphabet is two handed though, so unfortunately no signs cross over :( I think it's really interesting looking at different countries sign languages and comparing them, seeing if any signs do cross over though. :)

@jofasis thank you so much for checking it out :) Yup I love looking at other countries sign lingos, each are so unique and some cross over a tiny bit (Like Irish sign is made up from both American and french sign lingos so there is a lot of crossover there but again quiet different in syntax but all fun to use and watch :) :)

Just wondering if ISL users are willing to share the universal sign, ILY sign borrowed from ASL.

[letteapplejuice]

@DonovanCresdee1 yes indeed (if you mean the I Love You sign? looks a little like a rock symbol??) yup I have seen it used here :) :)

@Chealder Hi there, nope, all sign languages are different from different countries :) Irish sign language is made up from both french and american sign, so there are similarities but still very different languages in syntax and form :)

You make it look so easy. I'm doing a Fetec 3 in ISL and I'm finding that the A-Z sheet we were given and what you are doing kinda different. I'm continously watching this video over and over to perfect my A-Z.
