Re: "Sinners" To Debut On Max As First Show With "Black American Sign Language" Translation

Never heard of it before and there's really no reason why I or most of
us would have. Ah, there is yet another reason we haven't heard of
BSL. Apparently BSL refers to British Sign Language. The correct term
for Black Sign Language apparently is BASL because Black Sign Language
is closely related with BASL being based on ASL.

Two-handed signing: BASL signers tend to use two hands more frequently
than in standard ASL.
Hand Placement: BASL signs are often placed higher on the body, closer
to the forehead, compared to standard ASL.
Signing Space: BASL generally uses a larger signing space than
standard ASL.
Facial Expressions: BASL signers often use more pronounced facial
expressions to convey meaning and emotion.
Lexical Differences: While most vocabulary is shared, BASL has
developed some unique signs and variations for certain words and
phrases, sometimes reflecting African American Vernacular English (AAVE).
