America and UK use English as spoken language, many think American Sign Language and British Sign Language are the same. But no, they have a huge difference. The American sign language is taken from French Sign Language. Meanwhile, British Sign Language is adopted from Australian Auslan and New Zealand Sign Language. This alone makes a huge difference between the gestures, hand movements, hand shape and sentence structuring.
