American Sign Language (ASL) is the predominant sign language of Deaf communities in the United States (also known as ) File:Flag of the United States.svg and most of anglophone Canada (also known as ) File:Flag of Canada.svg. Besides North America, dialects of ASL and ASL-based creoles are used in many countries around the world, including much of West Africa and parts of Southeast Asia. ASL is also widely learned as a second language, serving as a lingua franca. ASL is most closely related to French Sign Language (LSF). It has been proposed that ASL is a creole language, although ASL shows features atypical of creole languages, such as agglutinative morphology.

- American Sign Language was a type of sign language used in the United States, Canada, and various non-English-speaking countries on Earth. The educational background of Kathryn Janeway included study in American Sign Language, chromolinguistics, and the gestural idioms of the Leyron. Despite this experience, she could not get the hang of the Tak Tak's form of communication in 2373. (VOY: "Macrocosm")

Despite this experience, she could not get the hang of the Tak Tak's form of communication in 2373. (VOY: "Macrocosm") While playing Riva, actor Howie Seago used ASL. However, it is unsure if this was in fact the unknown language Riva was using, because when Data was tasked to find out what language it was, one language he examined was M-9, most gestures which were seen on-screen were those used in ASL. (Star Trek Encyclopedia (4th ed., vol. 2, p. 6) )
