(a) American Sign Language is a visual-gestural system of communication used by many in

language that has its own syntax, rhetoric, and grammar that is used to convey information
and meaning through signs made with the hands, arms, facial markers, and other body
movements.

credit. (Added 2001, No. 16, § 2.)
