Simply put...ASL is not meant to be taken into the spoken form. Can u imagine a deaf person taking ASL and changing it into a spoken language. that's what people did with English..changing it from a spoken language into a signed language but borrow ASL signs to change the syntax (structure). If people tried to change the syntax of English to follow ASL, English wouldnt make any sense anymore. It isnt as cut and dried with languages. One couldnt change the syntax of Spanish to follow English synax along with any other languages.
