Changing the topic a little bit and closer to the original post:

I am deaf and I speak English and I am fluent in ASL. So I've always considered myself bi-lingual. I'm aware that some others (mostly hearings) do not count sign language when counting how many languages you are fluent in. I'm not here to argue that point -- my question is: if I were to know another sign language, such as French Sign Language for example, do people consider that as tri-lingual (English, ASL, and FSL?)
