RichCor Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 From the ThaiVisa archive (past posts) Is deaf sign language 'international'? By simon43, April 23, 2017 in General topics 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nabbie Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 "Working on a project which has some American Sign Language in it. Is Thai sign language the same or similar ?" Hi, I am native BSL (British Sign Language) and I am currently living in Phuket for years. I also possess the knowledge of both ASL & TSL as second languages. ???? I am told that TSL is borrowing 53% from ASL. TSL has its own Thai fingerspelling & national Thai signs. What kind of project - may I ask? Is that aiming for Thai signers? Or ASL signers? Dont forget International Sign Language (Inter-SL) can be very similar with ASL. Can you sign??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for your kind advice from both posters. I am working on a English Language project which besides English, gives kids some intro into Sign language. We are tailoring it for Thailand , and by the sounds of it we might need to drop the sign for the pilot project Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
