Is it total different (like BSL or Auslan) or just few words different (like European and Brazilian Portuguese)?
 
I don't think so. ASL and LSQ are what are used in Canada.
 
My roommate buy CSL dictionary, so I think must exist. :shrug: Quick glance look similar to ASL.

Oh wait, I do know that book you're talking about - it's a rather big one, right? I saw it at the deaf org's libary. Didn't look inside so can't say if it's very different from ASL or not. I'm going to the deaf org on wednesday so I'll see if I can have a gander at that book and ask some questions about it.
 
I just see her book, is called Canadian Dictionary of ASL. Guess not exist CSL!
 
Maybe it takes into account cultural differences... like there used to be a Canadian-Oxford Dictionary.

In Montreal, CSL is 'Cote St. Luc'... a neighbourhood... got me confused there for a second.
 
According to the Canadian Hearing Society booklet: "Starting Point"1999 page 88 "American Sign Language--a visual- gesture language with its own grammar and syntax, distinct from English used by Deaf people primarily in CANADA and the United States...In Canada there are two main Sign Languages: American Sign Language (ASL) and Langue des signes quebeciose (LSQ)

thank you so much let know me I learn it :)
MSL I never heard it MSL different :)
 
How does MSL differ ASL?
As for ISL considering the small population-hard to believe that there is enough "Deaf/deaf/DEAF" persons living "up there" to generate a "separate" sign communication language.

Inuit Sign Language

Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Inuit Sign Language Signed in Canada Region Arctic Language family Language codes ISO 639-3 None v · d · e Inuit Sign Language (ISL), or Eskimo Sign Language, is an indigenous sign language used by both the deaf and the hearing in Inuit communities in the Canadian Arctic, including Nunavut and perhaps northern Quebec and Nova Scotia. It appears to be a fully developed language, in that it can be used to discussed various topics and convey emotion.
Several of these communities have large deaf populations, and both the hearing and deaf are proficient in it, as in other communities with high rates of congenital deafness such as Martha's Vineyard. In addition, hearing people have been observed to use it for inter-dialectical communication with Inuit from other communities. MacDougall (2000) notes that "this is not unusual for nomadic hunters and others living in isolated places", suggesting that it may not have originated as a sign language for the deaf.

Apparently widely known-first heard it about here- today.

Personally not planning on moving up north to learn ISL
