This 8"x10" watercolor on Canson cold press, "Access: To Have or Not to Have", by Deaf American artist Kim Anderson states in her statement, partly excerpted "This is my first therapeutic art to process and express my life's journey as a Deaf human being... that of a solitary mainstreamed child without American Sign Language or role models... culminating to this day as an adult fully embracing my beautiful Deaf self with love, and pride in my Deafhood journey of living, learning and experiencing the world visually through my eyes rather than through my ears. I truly have no need for ears – well maybe just for aesthetic purposes. This artwork reflects the barriers and consequences imposed on Deaf people throughout their lives."

Search Tips and Pointers

Alphabetical letters: It's useful for 1) a single-letter word (such as A, B, etc.) and 2) very short words (e.g. "to", "he", etc.) to narrow down the words and pages in the list.

For best result, enter a short word in the search box, then select the alphetical letter (and page number if needed), and click on the blue link.

Don't forget to click "All" back when you search another word with a different initial letter.

If you cannot find (perhaps overlook) a word but you can still see a list of links, then keep looking until the links disappear! Sharpening your eye or maybe refine your alphabetical index skill. :)

Add a Word: This dictionary is not exhaustive; ASL signs are constantly added to the dictionary. If you don't find a word/sign, you can send your request (only if a single link doesn't show in the result).

Videos: The first video may be NOT the answer you're looking for. There are several signs for different meanings, contexts, and/or variations. Browsing all the way down to the next search box is highly recommended.

Video speed: Signing too fast in the videos? See HELP in the footer.

ASL has its own grammar and structure in sentences that works differently from English. For plurals, verb inflections, word order, etc., learn grammar in the "ASL Learn" section. For search in the dictionary, use the present-time verbs and base words. If you look for "said", look up the word "say". Likewise, if you look for an adjective word, try the noun or vice versa. E.g. The ASL signs for French and France are the same. If you look for a plural word, use a singular word.
