Pointers to remember

Like any other spoken languges, ASL is a natural language with its complex linguistic structures and rules. Many ASL words have their inflections and classifiers used in ASL sentences.

As every language does evolve over time and space, ASL has its variations due to regions, age/generation, gender, and other factors.
