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..!

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!

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.

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

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

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

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...

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

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.

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

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!

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

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 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.

OMG! I LOVET SHIT VIDEO! I NOTICED THIS DIFFERENCE THE FIRST TIME I ENCOUNTERED A WHITE DEAF. THE DIFFERENCE IN SIGNING SPACE ALONE IS ENOUGH TO KNOCK YOU OFF YOUR FEET AT FIRST. BUT ONCE YOU BECOME COMFORTABLE, YOU LEARN TO SWITCH BETWEEN DIFFERENT SIGNING SITUATIONS. AS A BLACK PERSON, I USE MORE "BASL" WITH MY FRIENDS AND "ASL" AT WORK OR WHEN I'M VOLUNTEERING. IS THERE A DISTINCTION FOR WHICH ONE IS MORE APPROPRIATE? YOU TELL ME!

Wow thanks so much for sharing that info! It makes me wonder how VRS/VRI interpreters are able to interpret for so many variations in ASL...I hadn't seen many of those variations before...I am in the Pacific NW. Loved the signs for birthday (candles by mouth) and bathroom, towel, boss, stop trippin', my bad...they were all awesome! Thanks again!

Very informative and thanks for the subtitles. :)

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

Enjoyed vieing this video. I have subscribed and will try to follow the research. I am a black signer but noticed from Mr. Hill's examples that I tend to use White signing styles. I assume it is because that is who I studied under. Interesting find.

Thank you

I would love to learn more about both groups: the older and the younger. Also, are you going to be posting more videos about this in the future? THANKS :-)

LOVED IT !!!!

This is fascinating. If anyone has a link to a video dictionary that they like for Regional Signs or Black Sign Language, please link it to me in the comments.

Thank you for this video!

Subtitles would be AWESOME. I'm only catching a few words and kind of getting the gist of what you're saying, but I want to be able to really understand what's going on.

I want to know more about the older black deaf group...

Please let me know when you do. I can catch words but not really make sense of it. Thanks!!!

interesting. thanks!

This is so interesting!

Love this so much. I must buy the book! Is there any possibility of this being subtitled? I would love to share it with some ASL beginner signers.

I don't think ALL black individuals sign differently. It really depends on culture and where you grew up, just like spoken language.

New to asl caption would really help very interested in learning sign language

wow i did not know that but thank you for tell me hello i'm deaf and my name is ray

I'm suprised to learn about the different types of signing. I never knew there was Black ASL. If what you are saying is true then I would say that I sign like a white person which makes sense because where I am from we are predominantly white and asian.

this is a fantastic video thanks !

subtitles??

Interesting!

This is very informative! Unfortunately, some people allow their ignorance to take precedence over the educational instruction that this video is trying to demonstrate. For those individuals, please refrain yourself from immaturity.

I think the audio is broken.

I really don't mean to sound ignorant or rude, but.. really? There's a 'black' ASL? I had no idea.

That's a really long sign for KFC....
