Deutsch Gehorlosen Sprachen: A Mini-Dictionary
Here: I thought it would be of interest to present various signs, contrasting DGS and ASL signs. I'll begin with fingerspelling. First of all, the entire DGS fingerspelled alphabet is very similar to that of the ASL one. The only differences are: the T and the G.
The picture on the left is the ASL G, and the picture on the right is the DGS G.
The picture on the left displays the ASL T, and the picture on the right displays the DGS T.
While the alphabets are similar, ASL utilizes its much more than DGS. In ASL, some words do not have signs and you are expected to fingerspell them.
Now, here are some signs, with the ASL and DGS versions.
