Black ASL

Greetings! There are subtitles. Thank you, Dr. Joseph Hill for making this possible. Show your love to Dr. Joseph Hill and his team by sharing this video! 

Awesome! Loved this video. Very educational. Glad to learn and appreciate ASL even more through diversity. Makes me want MORE, MORE, MORE of this!!!

Hello MY Black ASL, I'm Deaf Rapper and I'm feel it what He said. I had seen ASL Movement Different Between White & Black. Even North, South, East, West AND Internationals ASL. But I got kool white Deaf Friends that have Deaf Familys always tell me be patience with theirs ASL and Pay attention. End of day I got it & still Learned. At the same time They learned My Slang American Signs Language. They said They love it Seem its MY Black ASL. Big Up James "Def Thug Taylor. Im buy that book soon..!

My friends who are deaf an black didn't know about black asl we saw a video on it .we all sign the same asl . Interesting to learn

Very interesting and powerful!!! This have to share more information throughout each school based on sign language historical. Gotta to share this.. Thank Dr. J!

Wonderful presentation :-) Look forward to learning more about Black ASL. Thanks!

It is coming up soon! Thank you for your patience.

Hello! What an informative video. I am exciting to learn more. Thank you! - student ASL/English ITP program, TX

Fantastic and fascinating information! I learned a lot and want to know more! Thanks Joseph!

Wow! That's really so interesting. I will let my deaf friends know about it because most of us are black and we didn't know about our own BASL. I recognized some of BASL we do still using. Awesome I'm looking forward to read that book soon!

Thanks Joseph! I really enjoyed this instructional video- it provides a nice overview of you and your colleagues' research work.

I was a linguistics major in college many years ago..and was able to use ASL as my focus language (Thank you Susan Rutherford) I LOVED THIS VIDEO! I surprised myself by how much I understood (at least 85%) I loved the "new" lingo/signs...totally cool! Thanks for this...

Very informative and thanks for the subtitles. :)

Adding this to our long To-Do list. :)

I’m black from my father, but my mother, who is deaf, is white. I learned white ASL, and now I want to learn BASL.

I had to interpret this cold with no prep for my Interpreting 3 class. Thank you for the subtitles; I get to see how close I was.

I was totally like - Dammit, is this meant to teach us Hearies a lesson, since most videos with sound are not CC'd? Then I realized there was CCing for us slow folk. lol Thank you!! I'm learning ASL, but I am NOWHERE near this level!! :S

I love 3:08, the switch from ASL accommodating another language's requirements to using its own strengths. 2:51 to 3:08, ASL accommodating English names and English writing. "Ceil Lucas, Carolyn McCaskill, Joseph Hill (which is me), and Robert Bayley" is only about 20 syllables in English (I'm not sure if Ceil is one or two), but fingerspelling them all very carefully, so that they can be written back out, takes a full 17 seconds. 3:09 to 3:10, ASL on its own terms. English takes 15 syllables to say "The first three of us were from Gallaudet University," but ASL is done after three signs, one or two seconds. 3:11 to 3:15, some of each. For "Dr. Bayley was from the University of California -- Davis" not all of the fingerspelling needs to be letter-for-letter recognizable and the two languages are about the same speed.

Thank you for this video!

This is so interesting!
