Like Chinesey (see linked Ted Talk) this would be an 8 sign basis
for all
other signs, with a clever way of remembering each one. In the
linked video on "Chinesey" (a simple and effective way to learn
Chinese characters in a short period of time, they give 8 basic
characters on which many
others are based. The same thing
happens in ASL and there is a similar clever way to remember
each.
For instance "learn" in ASL is one hand pulling off the other and
moving up to the head, as if the signer was pulling information out
of a book and putting it in their head. Maybe this is not an exact
example but it goes towards the fundamental reason why any
linguistic meaning sticks which is that iris clever and it can be
used
to show cleverness and is useful as a tool. So anyway, someone
should make a "Chinesey" version of American Sign Language.
