They could probably do it with all of the translations of the letters in plain sight, given that a lot of us normies can't tell the difference between dots and dashes when given at normal speed. That would at least give them a chance.

Almost no one uses international sign language in their daily life though. I don’t even know if regular deaf people understands it. It’s an incomplete language that is only supposed to be used at special occasions.

[@vc8983]

This, but as a game of telephone!!! Something like, the signer to a Spanish speaker, to a German speaker to a drawer to the message interpreter. I think that would bring hilarity.😂

[@voidcre497]

as a hard-of-hearing person born to deaf parents, im pretty happy that you guys wanted to do an episode with ASL although ASL depends mostly on what region you’re in most of the time, so everyone’s signs are not always the same interestingly enough I do sometimes find myself asking my mother a sign for a word if I don’t know how to sign it

[@Cynthiaaagghh]

This! Respect to Anton but his signing leaned a little PSE. ASL is very illustrative, and I think it would’ve been so cool to see how much more information a native Deaf signer could give them just by virtue of being more expansive and vivid in their signing.

[@I.no.ah.guy57]

[@derailhaskins2044]

Very cool episode! Alas... ASL wasn't made in America. We actually went over to the U.K. to ask them if we could learn their sign language, but they wanted monetary compensation. A French representative was there and offered to teach us for free, thus American Sign Language is actually French in origin. 😁

[@karazenonos3494]

was looking for this comment 👏🤟

[@Cynthiaaagghh]

In all fairness, FSL merged with indigenous sign languages and home signs in America to become the ASL of back then, and then it has drastically changed over the centuries to become uniquely ASL. ASL as we know it today IS distinctly *American.* Also slight correction, but sign languages did already exist in the US at the time. Gallaudet went to Europe to learn about how to educate deaf children. Gallaudet and Laurent Clerc mainly helped establish schools for the deaf in the US, which then “standardized” sign language more and naturally gave it heavy French influence bc of Clerc.

[@derailhaskins2044]

@@Cynthiaaagghh I appreciate the clarity!! My son is deaf, and his teacher explained it to me in very rough terms! I knew sign had already existed, but I know they wanted a more unified language to teach, even though "dialects" as we would equate it to still make signs differ depending on which area you're in.

A correction: ASL was DEVELOPED in the US in the 19th century, not invented there.

The neanderthals are thought to have had a gestural language with guttural vocalizations. Just a little info dump :)
