The Asian SignBank is a comprehensive collection of sign languages from diverse Asian countries. Our platform serves as a valuable resource for Sign Language Research, Teaching Sign Language, and Sign Language Translation. Supported by the Nippon Foundation and organized by the Asia Pacific Sign Linguistics Research and Training Program (APSL), our mission is to record and store these invaluable sign languages in one accessible location. To explore further, please visit our website where you can click on English glosses or handshapes to look up specific details. You can click and view the signs no matter they are one-handed or two-handed. The Asian SignBank allows individuals to explore various aspects of sign language including handshapes, locations, and movements, and you can easily search and access these details. In addition, you may compare signs across sign languages as well. If accessing the website proves difficult, you can reach out to us via email for assistance.
