Today we’ll learn the letter N in sign language. Since we’re talking about a letter, we’ll explain the differences between the spoken and sign language alphabet.

There are differences between the sign language families. For example, the sign for the number N in British Sign Language BSL and American Sign Language ASL is different.

In order to keep this case short, we’ll simply discuss BSL today.

But first, let me explain the idea of fingerspelling so you can have a deeper knowledge of what we’re going to talk about today.

After that, we’ll move on to our main topic.

Fingerspelling

If you are a part of the deaf community or have experience working with deaf people, you may be familiar with the ideas of the sign language alphabet and fingerspelling.

You can learn to sign letters by finger-spelling. It consists of a set of hand gestures used to spell words or individual letters. This idea has a clear connection to the letter N.

The letter N is written in sign language using hand gestures, much way it is in spoken languages. Since the letter N doesn’t have any particular signals linked with it, we must learn the gestures that go along with it so that we can use them later to spell out things like people’s names.

One of the most important aspects of sign language is finger spelling. They are excellent for communicating because of their adaptability.

Lear what is fingerspelling in detail, here.

So, let’s move on to how to write the letter N in BSL.
