Listowner & Maritime SL

[Judith Yoel]

Hello, Maritime Sign Language (MSL) is ASL as it is
used in English speaking parts of North America today
with an abundance of remnants from BSL, as BSL was
once used on Canada's East Coast (in schools
established by the British). There is a very small and
elderly community of users of the adapted, old form of
BSL.
I welcome all who can give me further information on
this issue. thanks, Judith Yoel
