How many different sign languages do you know?

Question

I'll start.

I'm fluent in ISL (Irish Sign Language) and GSL (Gambian Sign Language)

With a working knowledge of BSL (British Sign language) and AUSLAN (Australian Sign Language, which is similar to BSL)

I can get by with ASL (American Sign Language)

I am also proficient in International Sign, but this is not a language, but a language system.

Answer 1

I know a tiny few words in German Sign language and in Russian Sign language.  I know ASL fluently.  Where did you learn international sign language?  I saw it on youtube the other day and it was amazing how understandable it was!

Answer 12

Unfortunately all I can do is sign numbers in Chinese hand gestures... when I get into a problem I usually just use my middle finger with an angry expression on my face. Seems to get me by quite well. Other than that, well I speak languages orally.. most people are good enough to listen.
