I know there is ASL and BSL because they are 2 completely different countries, but I think the sign language should be the same worldwide so deaf people can always communicate with toher deaf people in their own language

Do you know to use one-hand fingerspellings?
 
Not really. I kno about 10 letters of the alphabet in ASL
 
I am surprised that with such a big british influence here in canada that we do not use BSL but ASL instead....weird
 
An international sign language would be hard to maintain since languages spring up from cultures, and while we have become much more globalized, we haven't globalized language.
