Finger Spelling
Finger spelling is a communication method used in sign language where each letter of the alphabet is represented by a specific handshape or movement. The signer spells out words by sequentially forming these handshapes, essentially bridging spoken language with visual gestures. It’s often used for spelling out names, places, or words that don’t have a dedicated sign. Finger spelling is a precise and important part of sign language, allowing signers to communicate effectively even with unfamiliar words, ensuring clarity and understanding in conversation.
