Video Transcription Lessons in SignWriting

[Shane Gilchrist O hEorpa]

VERY different!
ISL came from LSF (French Sign Language) just like ASL.
BSL is a home-grown language - however ISL would use the one-handedalphabet and BSL use the two-handed alphabet but most of the ISL signsdo use both hands whereas in BSL, its mainly one hand.
