American Sign Language was once known {or referred to} (primarily by hearing people, or disability advocacy groups such as the American Red Cross) as Ameslan. There is no distinction between Ameslan and American Sign Language, except that the term "Ameslan" is no longer in prominent usage, wheras the terms American Sign Language and the abbreviated form ASL are. Currently, it is more proper to refer to this Sign Language as American Sign Language rather than Ameslan.
