World Deaf Federation Supports Indian Sign Language Over ASL

World Deaf Federation Supports Indian Sign Language Over ASL

Imagine a group of people who use their hands to talk.

Now, some people want to use a different set of hand signs, which is like learning a new language.

The World Federation of the Deaf, a big group, says the group of hand signs the people already use is best.

They believe it helps the hand signers understand things better and keeps their culture alive.

They are worried about using the new hand signs because it might make it harder for them to learn and fit in.

So, the group wants to make sure the original hand signs are used, especially in schools.
