  • Interesting!

    I'm studying to be an American Sign Language Interpreter.

    ISL's alphabet is basically the same as British Sign Language's.

  • Yes you are right. The interesting thing here in India is that there is no way to spell the local languages.

  • Im indian here in america studying ASL (american sign language)

  • thank you SARITA DAS

  • HUUUHH! BEEH!!! MEEHH! GUUUHH!! EUHHH!!! KREEHH!!! MEEHH!!!

  • (Since I travel around India, and China, Taiwan, South America, etc working with the Deaf, I have learned to communicate with many Deaf with more of a Visual Body Language that is understood everywhere. This also helps me communicate with Deaf who know and use N.S.L. (That means NO SIGN LANGUAGE! LOL)

  • The Deaf in Kolkota also produce a VCD of "Indian Sign Language" that is pretty good. One has to learn a particular S.L. in some major city of India and pretty much stick to that S.L. Going to another area complicates things, for the most part.

  • I have traveled extensively around India and found the Sign Languages to be very different. Even the alphabet has many variations. Both one-handed and two-handed alphabets have several variations in them, not to even mention the signs themselves. The Marathi alphabet does exist but I have not met anyone yet who uses it as their main source of communication. It can be found in a Sign Language syllabus which I came across from the library in Mumbai.

  • I know some BSL too.

  • hello I am deaf to and I have a dream to learn the sign language india, but how? help me
