[Home]Manual alphabet

HomePage | Recent Changes | Preferences

A manual alphabet is a series of handshapes that correspond exactly to the letters in the alphabet of a language so that words can be 'writting in air' by being spelled out using the hands. American Sign Language uses a one handed manual alphabet while [British Sign Langugage]? uses a two-handed one.
