What is A in American Sign Language?

In American Sign Language (ASL), the letter “A” is represented by forming a closed fist with the thumb placed against the index finger.

The thumb and index finger together create a shape resembling the letter “A.” ASL is a visual-gestural language used primarily by the Deaf and hard-of-hearing communities in the United States and parts of Canada.

Each letter of the alphabet is represented by a specific handshape or gesture, allowing signers to convey words and concepts through a combination of handshapes, movements, and facial expressions.
