Greek Sign Language came about when American Sign Language and French Sign Language joined. This occurred in the 1950s. It became the legal form of deaf language in Greece in 2000.
Native Americans and the deaf community have both developed forms of sign language. Many Indigenous tribes in North America created their own sign languages for communication, particularly in trade and intertribal interactions. Additionally, American Sign Language (ASL) emerged as a rich linguistic system within the deaf community, incorporating elements from various regional sign languages, including those from Native American cultures. These forms of sign language highlight the diversity and adaptability of human communication.
Sign language encompasses various forms, such as American Sign Language (ASL) and British Sign Language (BSL), each with its own alphabet and vocabulary. In ASL, the manual alphabet consists of 26 hand shapes representing each letter of the English alphabet. Additionally, sign languages have distinct signs for words and concepts, which may not directly translate to spoken language. Therefore, while there are fingerspelling systems for letters, each sign language also includes unique signs for a wide range of words.

Ha, Ha! The term "Native American" applies to over 100 different groups of people that were encountered on the continent of North America upon the arrival of the Spaniards and later Anglo-Europeans. There is no one "Native American" language as is suggested in the movies. As an example, Navajo tribal members can not converse with members of the Sioux tribe in a single language. Additionally, the idea that Native American could use "Sign Language" to communicate with different tribes, is nothing more than another misconception. "Sign Language" is a technique often used when any people of different ethnic origins meet. The simplest form of using "sign Language" between people not having a common language would be the act of drawing of pictures in the sand.

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.
