The great thing about NZSL is that the signs translate pretty well into Maori too.
Amazing! I've always wanted to learn NZSL, it troubles me that, because of my own ignorance, I'm not able to communicate (easily) with fellow members of my country. This video inspired me to give it a crack :D
any update?
sign language for family in nzsl is long lol but wow this is very cool :-)
It's not long, there are two different signs.
Am i being ableist for being annoyed theres no audio
Which person is doing which sign language?
Left is ASL. Right is NZSL, I think. I don't speak either, but I can tell from their lip movements. haha.
@@scaridaghostly Yup, that's right!!
@@scaridaghostly I don't either, but I know a few words, enough to know that left is definitely ASL.
I am deaf I do New Zealand sign language
Kia ora
Huh, I'd read that ASL was one-handed, but heaps of those are two handed.
The alphabet of asl is one handed whereas the alphabet for nzsl is two. Actual signs however are two handed in both xx
Also, numbers 0-999 are one handed

I am a NZ ECE teacher and trying to learn sign language to teach the children. Can somebody tell me whether vowl sounds-a, e, i, o, u same as BSL? I could not find NZSL. Thanks.
I'm pretty sure the NZSL and BSL alphabets are exactly the same
a, e, i, o, u as I was taught at school are pointing to the fingers on your left hand.
nzsl ftw
they really should think of a global sign language, it's confusing with the differences to the point where American may as well be flailing their arms like they're on fire if they go to New Zealand
I think a global language would be a good idea, but the thing is that the people all over the planet came up with their language all by themselves. Most sign languages were developed in the 19th century. So... which sign language do you suggest we'll use? Who will give up their century long tradition? And then you have to consider that some of these sign languages are based on the spoken language and some not. Sign languages have their own grammar and rules. Which tradition do you suggest we'd use?
The need for a global sign language has been expressed, but the probability of that happening and the viability of the language is a bit like Esperanto.
So, no, just assume every country has their own sign language, treat them as any other foreign language, and that will solve a lot of your confusion.
@@Ketutar Actually, there was a global language called Gestuno. Although it was good, people in deaf communities enjoyed and preferred their specific language over it and Gestuno eventually died.
There’s actually one but it’s not widely practiced by all countries but by those interested parties called international sign language
It's a good idea but it may not necessarily work for non-english speaking places. Like, NZSL signs aren't only for english, they're also for Maori too
People say that to me every week. It shows how little sign languages are understood by hearing. Sign languages developed within the deaf communities and their culture. They are not a hearing invention for helping the Deaf. Groups of Deaf people developed them wherever they were. They did not have access to other Deaf people from other places so they did not develop all together. Just as hearing people have different language and different accents depending on the area. South Island and north island of NZ have different signs. Sign language is not a visible code for spoken words so people saying NZSL translates well to Maori also do not understand. Sign language translates to any language if the person knows the meaning of the sign🤷♀️. But it is totally unrelated to Maori or English. It has it own grammar which Deaf invented. And also if Deaf meet American or Russian Deaf the sign language doesn’t look like flailing arms around to them. Deaf have understanding of each other. Deaf gut, Deaf intuition and Deaf are very smart so they very quickly can understand Deaf from other places and pick up on their signs. Why don’t hearing have one universal language for all? Same reasons Deaf don’t.
I don't like ASL
Youll like it when your deaf and want to communicate...
