American Sign Language is a complete, natural visual language used primarily by Deaf and hard-of-hearing communities in the United States and parts of Canada, with its own grammar and syntax distinct from English, conveyed through hand shapes, facial expressions, and body movements. It's learned by Deaf individuals as a first language and by hearing people such as interpreters, educators, family members, and healthcare workers who want to communicate with the Deaf community. ASL has a rich cultural history and is taught in dedicated courses and university programs across the country.
